Can't you just use Envy Legacy to install nVidia drivers on Debian Etch?

I would highly recommend avoiding the regular installer. It works fine, but
I always found it to be a pain that I had to re-run the installer after
every kernel update (to rebuild the kernel module).

There's lengthy instructions for doing it the "debian way":

Yeees, but the steps vary slightly depending on which apt-based system
you're talking about :)

Does anyone have direct experience with installing a propriatary Nvidia
driver (from Nvidia) on an apt based system?

Valid point. Distro is Debian Etch. Nvidia has the driver wrapped up with an
installer that is supposed to be generic (except for SuSE). I was just
wondering if anyone had used it and what they thought of it.
