If the system has not booted yet, use the Grub command "a" to append either a 1 or a 3 to the command line so that you only go to runlevel 1 or 3. You can then install the Binary Nvidia driver. To go (back) to run level 5, just do a "/sbin/telinit 5". All these commands have to be done as root, BTW. Alfred
