[LUG] k_athlon security update takes out Nvidia 3D

[Keith Abraham <keith.abraham@xxxxxxxx>]

I've updated my kernel to k_athlon-2.4.20-101 on my SuSE 8.2
system. Since then I've lost Nvidia 3D acceleration and I
can't reinstall the driver due to the lack of a precompiled kernel.

I checked to see if  the kernel sources were still intact as they are
required by the nvidia-installer only to find that they had completely 
disappeared!!

The SuSE upgrade page only has what seems to be a patch
to the k_athlon-2.4.20.100 sources which isn't much good if you
don't have them.

I could download the k_athlon-2.4.20.100 sources but at 35Mb
on a dial connection I would get into ISP time out restrictions.

Anyone know how to solve my problem or could some kind soul
with ADSL offer to download the sources onto CD/DVD for me?
