the link incorrect, really... not close. need direct link .run file not site.

go here put in information , find driver ya need. scroll down step 2 , copy link .run , put in substitution address in guide (the wget line mean). alternatively can download file gui browser home directory , continue instructions. i'd give right link, depends on card ya have , distribution version (32 or 64).

don't instructions, aren't complete manual install. please follow these instructions put on pastebin. ignore 7b (go right 8 ) if haven't ever installed nvidia drivers out before. advise print them out or write down commands after go console. ask questions before following please if confused, it's better explained though.
