Is there a way to repackage the.run file so I can use it on another system? Try this: http://xmodulo.com/2013/07/how-to-create-a-self-extracting-archive-o r-installer-in-linux.html
Not tested myself. The usual way is "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.15.run --apply-platch <patch_name>" which should generate a modified .run package, except when I tried it earlier it failed. From the posting on https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/549208/patch-for-325-08-on-li nux-3-10/ it seems you have to extract the archive and apply the

Once it's patched on one box, you can replace nv-linux.h on other boxes in the extracted archives.

Oh well 325-15 works fine.
Do you still work on the Amdahl. I worked on designing a computer rooom for one in Oklahoma, USA. Best system I ever worked on back in old days was as IBM AS/400. Been on openSUSE since 1999 but am not a programmer by trade. Was in Field Engineering, Data Center and Help Desk Management. Long retired now but play with Linux a lot. I use no MS software but do help my wife with her Window 7 system.
Russ Hi Russ, I joined Amdahl in June 2nd. 1978 from Univac UK tech support.
I retired end of March 2004 but I still maintain an interest in what they do though it's mainly SPARC systems. Amdahl was fully merged into Fujitsu in 2003 and I was lucky to get early retirement. I really enjoyed my visits to Sunnyvale which were mainly to get clued up on new systems, oversee them being introduced here in Europe and provide training for Field Engineers and Marketing. I worked for UK/Europe and Worldwide support on Mainframes, Fujitsu and Sun SPARC and also supported IBM Mainframes for Amdahl as a third party maintainer. It was fun - give me a Mainframe any day as it is in a class of its own - it took around 8 hours to have a Mainframe delivered, installed and running a customer's system whereas the large SPARC systems took a week but they were good for the bank balance. I started with the first Linux kernel on an old Toshiba laptop with 2 floppy drives in late 1991. I also installed Linux on Mainframes and SPARC whilst still working. I still have a Sun SPARC Enterprise 4500 here which hardly gets powered on as it swallows electricity but one day I'll install Linux on it. I stopped using Windows when Windows 95 was around and never looked back as Linux did everything and then some even back then. I used StarOffice, Citrix Linux Client, Cisco VPN client for Linux, Crossover Office and X3270 to do all my work at a time when colleagues thought I was totally loco using only Linux.
