Cool!
Now, i don't want to be a nitpicker, but is it possible to build these
things based on the latest RH kernel update? (2.4.18-18.8.0)
From what i can tell, usually the drivers, modified kernels and other
kernel stuff made by third parties, either supports all kernel releases
with the distribution up to date (messy and difficult), or support only
the original kernel provided by the initial distribution release + the
latest update available at the moment of release.
The latter is what nVidia does.
If i were to choose between supporting the initial kernel release and
the latest update, i'll choose the update.
