GeForce 4 440 Go on Mandrake 9.2
I tried installing the official nvidia drivers for my GeForce 4 440 Go, but installation keeps failing. The installer can't seem to find the kernel source files. Is anybody else having this problem, and is there currently a solution?
My specs are as follows:
Dell Inspiron 8200:
CPU: 1.8 GHz Pentium 4 Mobile
1 GB of DDR RAM
Screen: 1600x1200 LCD panel.
Video: Nvidia GeForce4 440 Go.
3COM NIC
V.92 Modem (don't really need it though).
DVD/CD-RW combo drive.

Here are some mirrors for the missing kernel source:
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/9.2/contrib/i586/kernel-tmb-source-2.4.22-21.tmb.1mdk.i586.rpm
If none of these are the correct kernel-source, snoop around in ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/9.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/ It's about a 40MB d/l.

- Thank you, w00ters, for pointing me in the right direction. I have no clue as to why Mandrakesoft didn't include the kernel-source RPM. I just don't understand. It makes no sense whatsoever. Oh well. I'll try 9.2 sometime in the future. I went over to SuSE Linux 8.2 Professional, where I know the video card drivers work. Again, thanks for your help; I'm truly grateful.

1.) According to the Nvidia installer, I need the kernel sources installed.
2.) I looked on all the three of my Mandrake 9.2 CD's (I burned them from ISO's), and I couldnt't find the proper package to install at all.
