Hi all,


Added an nvidia module here: http://dyneusrmods.joolo.com/system.html

If anyone has a better way of doing it that would be great, this is how i
did it:

First I built a kernel module into the nvidia installer package using the
--add-this-kernel flag, and then made a rc sript to run the installer with
-s (silent install) --no-recursion (stop it doing so much searching for
conflicts) and -X (auto xorg.conf configure, made a version without this
option too). I also did --opengl-libdir=/X11R6/lib/ to make it happy
(wouldn't work with --no-recursion otherwise...)

I know installing the driver into a .dyne module and then inserting the
nvidia kernel modules into the running system would probably be a better
way but I'm not sure how.


Also some other modules added too like konqueror (happens to be a basic
install of kde without arts), and I forget what else :)


And... we made a mailing list for the user made modules site idea, so if
anyone wants to help out or just throw some ideas around your welcome to
