NVidia driver installation
Hello,
I am new to Linux, thus please explain how to install the Nvidia Drivers in Knoppix 6.2. I made a hard disc installation and everything
works fine. But I am not able to install the "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.42-pkg1.run" driver.
Please check the log below and explain in easy words for a newbie what went wrong. It looks like some kernel problems...
Many thanks!

ERROR: If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
you either have configured kernel sources matching your
kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
on your system.
If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
installed on your system. If you specified a separate
output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file
'/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions
on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
