After checking the net without result I re-installed having the same result without X Remembering having read about dpkg-reconfigure I did so and this time declined the offer to include a software frame buffer as well as the hardware for my Nvidia card. The install completed and I now have a functional system, with 2.6.18-486 kernel built with module assistant. I do not however have a functional version (APT) of BLENDER (2.4.a) I think? I just have a bouncing icon which disappears after several seconds without starting the program. Everything else is great! Except Blender..... Geeeee whiz.....

The free 'nouveau' driver included in Debian now supports most Nvidia graphics hardware, though generally not the very latest and certainly not with the same performance as the vendor driver.
