These instructions seem to be buggy: The nvidia-* packages don't have
the kernel version number attached to their name. This means that if
the user wants to use a different kernel (still installed) from the
boot loader, this won't work. The package names should be different
so that different drivers (one for each installed kernel) can be
installed at the same time.
