Frugal install of f96-CE with a save folder.

Trying to compile the Nvidia driver using NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-525.85.05.run file from Nvidia web site.

Loaded the devx_fossapup64_9.6.sfs and kernel_sources-6.0.12-FP.sfs

Compiling process never completes.

Has the following errors:

Here is the complete install log:

Note:
This same NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-525.85.05.run file was used in Fossapup64 9.5.
With it's devx and kernel sources SFS's loaded.
It compiled a good working Nvidia driver with no errors.

@bigpup

For the updated 6.0.12 kernel in F-96-CE, the kernel sources and devx were created at the same time in the same gcc 11.2.0 compile environment.

Edit: However, there is a problem with the devx. This may take awhile to resolve.

Thanks

Now that I know everything is new and you have to do everything over.

I downloaded all the latest F96-CE files as of February 02 2023 and installed to a new frugal install.

Tried compiling a Nvidia graphics driver using a Nvidia run package from their web site.

This time it worked and the driver is compiled and installed.
Using it now.

So this set of the F96-CE ISO, devx sfs, and kernel sources sfs work.

I guess this is a good test to see if the 3 different parts will match and work together.
