As I understand it - with mainstream distros - for anybody with an Nvidia card,
dkms will attempt to automatically re-build the 'nvidia.ko' kernel module every time there's an incremental kernel update.
We don't have this issue with Puppy, since our Pup's entire update process is entirely different. Most Puppies are a static 'snapshot in time', usually without a built-in update mechanism.....and only recent Debian-based Puppies even attempt to follow the update cadence of the "parent" distro.
This is a genuine PITA anyway, given the need to keep any updater's sticky paws away from Puppy's Busybox-based backbone AND the standard range of uniquely 'Puppy' packages that come with every Pup OOTB.
We don't WANT Puppy to be a 'clone' of whatever distro it's been based upon.

Traditionally, if you want updated kernel, newer packages, etc, you install the next newer build of Puppy.....which only takes a couple of minutes for anyone already running her, given that the necessary scripted 'utilities' are a standard part of most Pups anyway.
