NVIDIA Kernel Module Compilation

apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig module-assistant cd /usr/src tar -zvxf nvidia-kernel-source.tar.gz CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 module-assistant --unpack-once build nvidia dpkg -i nvidia-kernel-2.6.16-2-686-smp*.deb

CPAN and RPMs can hold hands

cpan2rpm generates RPM packages from Perl modules. It generates the
required SPEC files and builds the packages using rpm. cpan2rpm
automatically downloads the module from CPAN, or it can be built from
local files.

Old FC4 Yum install got you down?
