Hi Claude;

I just got the noarch rpm from Dell's site figuring its the newest.
But I got lost at turn one trying to follow the setup instructions.  At 
the present time I'm building it with the NVIDIA-Linux installer and that 
seems to be working ok.  But its a pita to remember to do it.

Do you have it setup to autobuild the nvidia video card stuff?  If so, can 
you post the files that enable it please?

Thanks.
