I have made Nvidia drivers in SFS for some Puppy/Puplets.
You can build the latest driver automatically. For the older versions, you need manually download the archive from the vender site.
TROUBLESHOOT: when GL library failed
getnvidia-1.5.pet for 32/64bit Puppies to install NVIDIA driver / build SFS/PET.

You need devx and kernel source package to build the kernel module.
Recommended to build with new pupsave of 512MB or larger, or in RAM mode. I am not quite sure but If your RAM is less than 640MB, needs 500MB swap.
- Load devx package
- Load kernel source package
- Install getnvidia.
- Exit X and down to the command prompt
- Type 'getnvidia'.
Note: the kernel source for the Fatdog 64 or Lighthouse 64 is contained in its each devx package.
PRECOMPILED:

Load, but do not run the nVidia Settings at this point of time, just exit the sfs_load, and run xorgwizard or reboot PC following the coming message.
Slacko 5.3.3 may need to reboot PC with your session saved before the xorgwizard.
NOTE: This sfs does not contain SDL nor glxgears. Install 'mesa-utils' or proper package if you want.
Install mesa package as for slacko if you need.
