Nvidia driver compiled, SFS created

This was a big thing back in the Scarthgap-series. You could install a nvidia SFS via SFSget, and you would have the nvidia kernel modules, Xorg driver and all required library files. This was great if the 'nouveau' kernel driver does not work properly on your GPU hardware.

After having installed it, there was also an automatic update when Easy was updated to the latest version, reported in 2023:

"Automatic NVIDIA SFS updating"

The nvidia SFS is now back for Excalibur-series. It is now compiled in woofQ2. When a new kernel is compiled, so to can the nvidia SFS be created for that kernel. This is downloadable via SFSget, or by direct download:

...you can download those three nvidia files, and move them to /mnt/wkg/sfs/easyos/devuan/excalibur, then run SFSget to install it. The current SFS is 'nvidia_6.12.81-595.58.03_amd64.sfs' -- the kernel number is first, followed by the nvidia version.

Hopefully the automatic updating still works. I had a very brief look at it, seems OK.
