The whole process of getting rid of drivers installed with nvidia-installer and
installing them back from debian's packages (just to remind: had to build the
nvidia kernel module as I've been installing from 'experimental') took me
about 3 hours because of my crappy inet connection (don't ask how slow
it is...).
With fast inet connection I think it would take not more than 20 minutes
(including the time for reading the guide and such).
