I have it running!
My thanks to all the posts giving clues on how to do it.
Now....
What is the best way to enable all the multimedia stuff.
MPG, MP3, DIVX, DVD and so forth.

see the other posts about packman


Also I plan to add the nvidia proprietary driver.
Should I do that after I get the multimedia stuff going?


go ahead and do it first. you can't play cool games until you get it
working.
get the driver from nvidia
http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

you will need to get out of X to install it. From the login screen click
system at the bottom then i think it is login prompt (sorry I don't
want to logout to figure it out) then login as root and type "init 3" this
will stop the X server.

then check this out

Then when you are done do a "init 5" to get back to the graphical login
screen. You will know it works because you will see the nvidia splash
screen.
