I would like to first say that the HD install worked better than ever before. I have had problems in earlier versions of the installer freezing before it was complete. No problems at all this time.

The problem I'm having is installing NVIDIA drivers for my card. I'm using the drivers from the NVIDIA website. I am running the script from root in console mode. The problem is it is looking for kernel-source to compile. It isn't finding it, and I don't see the file in Synaptic (I have done the apt-get update) for 2.6.19.1.

Can someone help me with this?

Okay, where do I save and do I need to unzip?
