[Sussex] Installing nvidia driver after new kernel - (K)Ubuntu ???

Hi list,

Now running (K)ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper). 

Yesterday, the package installer said there was ?? (quite a few) new package 
upgrades waiting install.

So I used synaptic to install the upgrades - one of which, was a newer kernel 
version.

I was aware that I'd have to re-install the nvidia driver - which isn't a 
problem as I'd already found instructions how to do that on a debian based 
system.

The problem is, that it doesn't matter whether I just try to re-install or 
remove and then re-install, it only wants to get the packages for the old 
kernel version.

Is there anyone who might be able to tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

And yes, I have tried booting into the new kernel and then running 
update/upgrade from CLI and then trying the remove and re-install trick.

regards

John D.
