Can't install nvidia drivers at runlevel3

[Reindl Harald]

the other OSs just work?
who told you?

they only do because the manufactoror put a driver
CD in the package or the OS is preinstalled

install windows without additional drivers on
a brand new Sandy Brdige machine and i bet half of
the hardware will not work - install linux and ALL
hardware is working out of the box

BTW:
why are you saying OSs when you mean windows
or can you install MacOS on any hardware?
or will another OSS system work on not supported hardware?

seems you do not realize that Linux is these days
the OS supporting most hardware of all out of the
box and you must do something terrible wrong buy
unsupported hardware
