(sec-02) INSTALLING THE NVIDIA DRIVER
__________________________________________________ ________________________
BEFORE YOU BEGIN DRIVER INSTALLATION
Before beginning the driver installation, you should exit the X server.
In addition you should set your default run level so you will boot to a
vga console and not boot directly into X (please consult the documentation
that came with your Linux distribution if you are unsure how to do this;
this is normally done by modifying your /etc/inittab file). This will
make it easier to recover if there is a problem during the installation.
After installing the driver you must edit your XF86Config file before
the newly installed driver will be used. See the section below entitled
EDITING YOUR XF86CONFIG FILE.
INTRODUCTION TO THE NEW NVIDIA DRIVER INSTALLER
After you have downloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg1.run,
begin installation by exiting X, cd'ing into the directory containing
the downloaded file, and run:
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg1.run
The .run file is a self-extracting archive. When the .run file is
executed, it extracts the contents of the archive, and runs the contained
`nvidia-installer` utility, which will walk you through installation of
the NVIDIA driver.

I found that in the second section, whyd you bother reading a few pages
