Can't install nvidia drivers at runlevel3

[jdow]

When you are on social security with "unpopular" or "orphan" disabilities and
a mortgage to meet even $25 is a big lump to have to pay. You're presuming
too much of your peers here.

Help is getting something working not telling somebody to throw it all away
and start over unless that really is the only way.

In that regard the fellow MIGHT try nouveau. But my experience with nouveau
is not exciting either. Video worked - nVidia sound was absent. YMMV. The
other OSs just work.
