I am a complete newbie here so bear with me.... I have a Dell Optiplex GX270 running slackware 10...with an nVidia GeForce 4 card. I have downloaded the Linux nVidia driver and get the following error during the install. "Unable to load kernel module 'nsound.o'" It goes on to mention that I have an incorrect kernel loaded. Any advice? I know just enough about Linux to be dangerous.
