rpm dirver install error

[psyklops]

OS: dual boot RH7.2/Win 98 2e

Intent: Trying to install Nvidia drivers from http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=linux

Transfering form ftp in terminal.

While transfering I recieved this:

WARNING! 5187 bare linefeeds received in ASCII mode File may not have transferred correctly.
226 Transfer complete.

While installing the rpm I hit a wall with this error:

warning: Expected size: 1508955 = lead(96)+sigs(68)+pad(4)+data(1508787)
warning: actual size: 1508914
dataLength() RPM_STRING_TYPE count must be 1.

Counld anyone tell me how to get around this so I can install the Nvidia drivers for Linux?

I always use the tar files... never had one fail on me from Nvidia.

tar zxvf NVIDIA_kernel----.tar.gz
cd NVIDIA_kernel----
make
make install (not sure if you need this part, but it won't hurt)

Do the same for NVIDIA_GLX stuff....

Don't forget to change the driver in XF86Config-4 from nv to nvidia...

Good Luck
