1. <CTRL>+<ALT>+<F1> to go to a console
2. Log in as root
3. telinit 3      (to exit the xserver)
4. export CC=/usr/bin/gcc32     (needed, but undocumented on Nvidia's
site -- kernel related stuff uses different version of compiler than
default)
5. follow directions on Nvidia's website
6. telinit 5      (go go back to graphical mode)
(may need to go <ctrl>+<alt>+<F7>, but shouldn't have to)

Cheers,

Daniel
