    Thanks! Quick question. I did an apt-get install nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx.
    The first is a source package.

    How do I do the equivalent of:

       rpm --rebuild nvidia-kernel.src.rpm && rpm -Uvh
    /usr/src/RPM/RPM/i686/nvidia-kernel.rpm

    for a debian source package. BTW, I upgraded my distribution to unstable since
    I wanted the geforce2 drivers (those drivers aren't in woody). But I'm clueless
    about what to do with debian source packages...
