If your distro has a way to install these drivers, use that instead of
what Nvidia has. It'll be much less headache in the long run.
For example, I watched someone follow the above directions. With X
running it complained that X had to be stopped. In single user mode it
complained that it wanted to be in multi-user mode.
Then when installed it locked the box. When removed X was borken until
it was reinstalled.
I'm sure a lot of that had to do with the board being used. But apt-get
install is so much easier.
