And I suppose it's better for the newbies to look at a blank console and figure out
what the hell they're going to do next. I'll doubt there skills extend to using lynx,
etc., to go to nvidia site and find the drivers manually.
Another thing are you sure it was the nv driver that got loaded because when I
installed rc1 vesa (which I didn't use) was the default. Maybe this is the problem and
the nv driver should be selected by default.
