Re: updated howto
Hello Roberto,
thank you for the updated HOWTO.
For some reason the /etc/apt/sources.list lines for downloading the
debianized nvidia drivers, given in the FAQ section "Is my Nvidia card
supported?", does not work for me.
sieck@deb64a:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-amd64/debian/ testing main non-free
contrib

W: You may want to update the package lists to correct these missing
files
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
Does anybody else experience similar problems?
