[Slackbuilds-users] nvidia-driver, nvidia-kernel

[King Beowulf]

Well just slap me for the noob I am. I really need to pay more
attention. I'm about a 900 miles away from my box and I forgot to open
ssh before I left.  It shouldn't be "" but " ". Anyway, a new nvidia
version is out and I will rejigger the script to get rid of
"no-compat32" download with a simpler selection scheme - ie yes/no
using the full nvidia package. Its just a few libs after all.

Anyway, thanks to all for pointing out the error my ways.
