Dear Pravin: I have installed Suse 7.3 and Suse 8.0 as well as most of the other distributions. Three quick questions. One, do you have another system to use to build a new Linux kernel? Two, do you desire Suse or would you not mind another Linux Distribution? Three, do you have a broadband internet connection? If you do have another system to build a Linux kernel with the nVidia IDE and AGP (VGA) drivers, then simply build a kernel with those drivers directly linked into the kernel and use that image to boot your box into Linux. Then you can proceed to partition, mkfs (format) and install all those packages you want. If you are not married to a particular Linux distribution, try a different one like Mandrake, Red Hat or Debian. If you have access to a broadband connection, try Gentoo Linux at: gentoo.org . It allows for the compilation to optimize for a Palomino or Tbred and to build in all the nforce2 drivers. Pete
