Hi all
I've just installed Arch linux again after 9 month with Ubuntu and several
other distros (yeah, they all come back! :-))
I've followed "The Beginners Guide" and did everything as described.
Anyway, I've got the system up and running, and now writing in X (openbox)
from opera Mail.
I've tried to install the nvidia-71xx driver because I know it supports my
VideoCard Geforce 6600GT.
But apparently it doesn't work, so I uninstalled it, reinstalled libgl,
did a depmod -a and rebooted.
Now in X I can install programs just fine with pacman but pacman -Syu
results in some strange errors I havn't seen before.
Here goes:
bash-3.2# pacman -Syu

Anyone knows what this is about ??
It is the first time I have experienced problems in Arch Linux.
