hi all - i've installed debian woody on a system, and I have an

nvidia gforce2 card that i'd like to have working. anyway, is there

a way to load their proprietary module at the boot prompt?

egorgry can probably give you the details but I'm fairly certain you can install the Nvidia modules with apt-get. That's how I'd do it.

I always do a custom compile, but you could follow this.

If you're interested in custom kernels here's some good stuff.

Also nvidia has teh script thingy to help install the modules on the drivers page.
