Is it? The config file says it isn't.  Should have mentioned before, I
have an amd64.

In any case patch my kernel I would like to know how to redo a kernel
and still be able to have the same system (in case I patch, I'm an audio
user and my latency needs to be v. low).  Is there a method to rebuild
the restricted modules and have the Nvidia module put in the right place
(I think it gets installed in the old kernel each time)?  What else is
in this restricted modules package?

Many Thanks,

Andy.
