Description Björn Ruberg 2007-08-18 08:31:31 UTC 
In chapter two of the current nvidia-guide there is a small mistake in the second chapter.
See the lines:
"Old NV2x-based cards (such as TNT, TNT2, GeForce, and GeForce 2) require the older 71xx drivers (such as nvidia-drivers-1.0.7185). For these cards, you should mask >=nvidia-drivers-1.0.8700 in /etc/portage/package.mask."

Well, better write >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8700, so that you can copy and paste without thinking :)

Reproducible: Always

It's pretty obvious to *me*, and users shouldn't be reading guides without thinking -- much less copy/pasting without thinking! -- but sure, why not. Might as well add it.

Thanks for reporting; fixed in CVS.
