-First a note from the README file
-
-Q: Why does NVIDIA not provide rpms anymore?
-
-A: Not every Linux distribution uses rpm, and NVIDIA wanted a single
-   solution that would work across all Linux distributions.  As indicated
-   in the NVIDIA Software License, Linux distributions are welcome to
-   repackage and redistribute the NVIDIA Linux driver in whatever package
-   format they wish.
-
-Furthermore, an email from NVIDIA:

-will use the packages together when they install.
-
-Please feel free to redistribute the NVIDIA graphics driver.

-Thank you for doing this for the NVIDIA+Debian community!

-           License For Customer Use of NVIDIA Software
-
-
-IMPORTANT NOTICE -- READ CAREFULLY: This License For Customer Use of
-NVIDIA Software ("LICENSE") is the agreement which governs use of
-the software of NVIDIA Corporation and its subsidiaries ("NVIDIA")
-downloadable herefrom, including computer software and associated
-printed materials ("SOFTWARE").  By downloading, installing, copying,
-or otherwise using the SOFTWARE, you agree to be bound by the terms
-of this LICENSE.  If you do not agree to the terms of this LICENSE,

-
-RECITALS
-
-Use of NVIDIA's products requires three elements: the SOFTWARE, the
-hardware on a graphics controller board, and a personal computer. The
-SOFTWARE is protected by copyright laws and international copyright
-treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties.
-The SOFTWARE is not sold, and instead is only licensed for use,
-strictly in accordance with this document.  The hardware is protected
-by various patents, and is sold, but this agreement does not cover
-that sale, since it may not necessarily be sold as a package with
-the SOFTWARE.  This agreement sets forth the terms and conditions
-of the SOFTWARE LICENSE only.
-
-1.  DEFINITIONS
-
-1.1  Customer.  Customer means the entity or individual that
-downloads the SOFTWARE.
-

-the following non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the
-SOFTWARE, with the following limitations:
-
-2.1.1  Rights.  Customer may install and use one copy of the SOFTWARE
-on a single computer, and except for making one back-up copy of
-the Software, may not otherwise copy the SOFTWARE.  This LICENSE
-of SOFTWARE may not be shared or used concurrently on different
-computers.
-
-2.1.2  Linux/FreeBSD Exception.  Notwithstanding the foregoing terms
-of Section 2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the Linux or
-FreeBSD operating systems, or other operating systems derived from the
-source code to these operating systems, may be copied and redistributed,
-provided that the binary files thereof are not modified in any way
-(except for unzipping of compressed files).
-
-2.1.3  Limitations.
-
-No Reverse Engineering.  Customer may not reverse engineer,
-decompile, or disassemble the SOFTWARE, nor attempt in any other
-manner to obtain the source code.
-
-No Separation of Components.  The SOFTWARE is licensed as a
-single product.  Its component parts may not be separated for use
-on more than one computer, nor otherwise used separately from the
-other parts.
-
-No Rental.  Customer may not rent or lease the SOFTWARE to someone
-else.
-
-3.  TERMINATION
-
-This LICENSE will automatically terminate if Customer fails to
-comply with any of the terms and conditions hereof.  In such event,
-Customer must destroy all copies of the SOFTWARE and all of its
-component parts.
-
-Defensive Suspension.  If Customer commences or participates in any legal
-proceeding against NVIDIA, then NVIDIA may, in its sole discretion,
-suspend or terminate all license grants and any other rights provided
-under this LICENSE during the pendency of such legal proceedings.
-
-4.  COPYRIGHT
-
-All title and copyrights in and to the SOFTWARE (including but
-not limited to all images, photographs, animations, video, audio,
-music, text, and other information incorporated into the SOFTWARE),
-the accompanying printed materials, and any copies of the SOFTWARE,
-are owned by NVIDIA, or its suppliers.  The SOFTWARE is protected
-by copyright laws and international treaty provisions.  Accordingly,
-Customer is required to treat the SOFTWARE like any other copyrighted
-material, except as otherwise allowed pursuant to this LICENSE
-and that it may make one copy of the SOFTWARE solely for backup or
-archive purposes.
-
-5.  APPLICABLE LAW
-
-This agreement shall be deemed to have been made in, and shall be
-construed pursuant to, the laws of the State of California.
-
-6.  DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND LIMITATION ON LIABILITY

-LAW, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND NVIDIA AND ITS SUPPLIERS
-DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT
-NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS
-FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
-
-6.2  No Liability for Consequential Damages.  TO THE MAXIMUM
-EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL NVIDIA OR
-ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR
-CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
-DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS
-OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT
-OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF NVIDIA HAS
-BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

-The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
-Sale of Goods is specifically disclaimed.  If any provision of this

-to such subject matter, whether oral or written.  Customer agrees
-that it will not ship, transfer or export the SOFTWARE into any
