Guys
I am absolutely new to Debian. I installed SARGE. I have a K7 processor and run the stock 2.6.8-K7 kernel.

From Rolland's site, I downloaded the foll DEBs:
nvidia-kernel-2.6-k7_1.0.7174+1_all.deb
nvidia-kernel-2.6-k7_1.0.7676+1.sarge.0_all.deb
nvidia-kernel-2.6.8-2-k7_1.0.7174+1_i386.deb
nvidia-kernel-2.6.8-2-k7_1.0.7676+1.sarge.0_i386.deb
nvidia-glx-dev_1.0.7676-2.sarge.0_i386.deb
nvidia-glx_1.0.7676-2.sarge.0_i386.deb
nvidia-kernel-source_1.0.7676-2.sarge.0_i386.deb

Now, is it possible to install nVidia drivers without having to use apt? Can I just do:
$ dpkg -i <name>.deb

I know nothing about apt, have no internet connection. APTITUDE has served me well. I have 8 of the 14 ISOs.

Thanks guys,

P.S: don't you guys agree RPM is much simpler and cooler? You rpm -ivh the RPMs and get work done. PERIOD.

No rpm's are not simpler. Yes dpkg -i will install that package. You only need a kernel module pkg, the glx pkg, and I recommend the dev package. Some of those you have are just different versions.

Follow this guide and you shouldn't have problems. I used it a few months ago and had no problem.
