Ok, there's some differences between us, I'm on this cause both vesa and
nv drivers don't permit an comfortable X session with my card.

>The other thing is, I think the size of the module

with last script the resulting module is 7462k for 100.14.11 version

Not exactly :D

It's a bash self learning session around this Jaromil's post on this list

So last script do the following :

dowload update information from nvidia site
if needed download the kernel-src module from dyne.org
if needed launch the dynesdk mksdk command
create an nvidia-version module tree
identify current VGA card and download the needed version or let the user
choose
purge installer of all precompiled interface and add dyne precompiled
interface
create an rc.script , repack the module and place it in the current dock
modules/ directory
ask user for removing SDK and kernel-src module.
ask user for a no reboot script creation

The idea is to don't have to release anything more than a correct script
because it is supposed make an updated proper version on user request.

So it would effectively be very more easier (when this damn script do
correctly the job :=)

To test last version

Many thanks to you and Ryan for lots of useful information, especially
nvidia repacking command
and silent start informations.

All advices ( include "Don't do that" or "Oops it is very ugly" :=) ) and
test results are very welcome

Cheers
