Installing nVidia Drivers

[Cliff Pankonien]

from a root window, do apt-get install binutils . that will install it 
wherever it needs to be. you can also use synaptic if you prefer a gui, 
either one _should_ work...i still can't get used to the sudo thing, so 
i set up a root password so that i can open a root term session if i 
need to...obviously you could sudo apt-egt install binutils and get the 
same result.
