    OK I'm done with Intrepid. I got the darn X to stop as Nil's showed 
me how and that worked just fine. Then I ran the NVIDIA bash file and it 
ran just as always, not finding a pre-made kernel, and the set to the 
task of making a new module for the Intrepid normal kernel. After a 
while it printed out:

Error: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module, the kernel is not proper.

Then it stopped and it said to read the error file in /var/log/ which I 
did and it did have a big problem with the Intrepid kernel.

    I wanted to determine if the NVIDIA package called 173 would work. I 
failed and have lost interest in Intrepid. This version has some major 
changes to it and some I really do not like. I don't want to use a 
operating system like that. I do really understand Hardy.
