hi guys,
I have just installed debian 2.6.18-6-amd64 and am trying to install the graphics card i have a 7600 gt and have downloaded the package from nvidia i reboot into single user mode so that gdm isnt started and then run the package. It tells me that the driver hasnt been built for my kerenel would i like to check ftp://nvidia.com i say yes but it cant connect as the network isnt enabled in single user mode so it then says would you like to compile for your kerenel i click yes but it cant find the kerenl soure files. Now i know i need to install them but where do i get them from i have tried using apt-get but it cant find them. Please help!!
If my post helped add to my rep!
