No problem --- we have time.
Here's how I would suggest blacklisting the drivers:
echo blacklist nouveau >/etc/modprobe.d/ls-blacklist-gpu-drivers.conf
echo blacklist nvidia >>/etc/modprobe.d/ls-blacklist-gpu-drivers.conf
Then choose "recovery mode" from the boot menu so X doesn't
automatically start. This should get you to a console. You can
check your work using lsmod.
Then remove the /etc/modprobe.d/ls-blacklist-gpu-drivers.conf file
to return to the previous configuration.
If you want to load one of the drivers for a single boot, the simplest
way is to modprobe it directly.

Add a line for experimental to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ experimental main
Packages won't be installed from there automatically. To install
a particular package, pass "-t experimental" to aptitude:
aptitude update
aptitude -t experimental install linux-image-3.5-686-pae
Thanks,
