i wonder if the lin4win extensions are the problem. I've used the nvidia 
installer with no problems on several installs. The script prompts for 
several choices, and if all appropriate headers are not present it will 
tell you. The only thing I've had to do is edit XF86Config.

Maybe you'll have better luck on a stock kernel on lindows.

I use Libranet, debian based, and it installs no problem. I've also 
installed on Debian 3.0, Slackware 9, and knoppix 3.2.

Libranet has it built in to the install process.
