-   I just installed 9.2 from the Club ISOs. I could not find either the NVIDIA kernels, nor kernel sources. Is this due to an oversight or a new policy?

-   The NVidia drivers are only included in the Powerpack, but you should be able to downloaded them
from the Club.

The kernel-source is not on the CD, but you should be able to compile kernel modules (like the
NVidia drivers) , as the headers are included with gcc, as they have been for quite some time.

-   Hmm, feels like a backward step to me, since 9.1 installed w/ the NVIDIA pieces automatically and it included kernel-source. I do see on the FTP sites the kernel-source in the same place as the precompiled kernels. I would think that the BitTorrent ISO would at least have the same functionality, if not more.

I will try to install the NVIDIA kit tomight and then close the call.

-   I'm still not satisfied with the outcome, but that's not Linegod's fault. The changes to V9.2 should have been made clearer on the MandrakeClub pages.
