I didn't mean for it to be sound obvious I meant it like "I can't
believe this is how they do it or why the change or why doesn't Nvidia
tell me this, surely a few people have installed Mandrake10 with a
Nvidia card?"  ;) Actually i found the answer on google so I am not even
sure it is the correct way to do it. But it works for me and it is easy.
