Can't you at least get it working with a cheatcode? I know there are a couple out there that will set it to a basic and ubiquitous VGA output, so at least you're running.

I can't believe that you have to recompile the kernel to install a NVIDIA graphics card.
This is a 32 meg plus download just to get the headers!
Sheesh.
I'm out in the sticks with a horribly decrepit land line which is frequently dug up to provide copper wire tourist tat.
It's about a couple of hundred mile round trip to get to the internet cafe so that I can cut a CD, which, when I run apt-get on it, is invariably lacking some dependency or other.
Looks like a better solution is to ditch my NVIDIA 128meg card (which cost a fortune when I bought it) and get something with less power but more mainstream.

JD,
Thanks for the reply.
Getting the graphics card to work is not too much of a problem: I just used xf86conf (from memory) which set everything up.
The problem is that the card behaves as though it's mired in molassis, which is disappointing for a 128 Meg card!
What I want to know is: if the nvidia installer script downloads kernel patches and drivers from the nvidia website, why isn't it possible to download the said files and cut a cd.
Then one can take the cd to the knoppix machine and modify the installer script to fetch the files from the cd rather than the net?
