No OS boots "any" PC ;-)

About installing nVidia. Is it dangerous for this user scenario? Will such a system ONLY boot machines that have nVidia cards, or "any" PC?

No, it's only a kernel module that is loaded on demand. And the xserver knows which module to load, too.

List exact steps to get nVidia support.

Yes, Sir!

Some kind of politeness would increase our motivation significantly, at least mine.

GRML repository has nVidia stuff but kernel replacement has me worried. Better safe than sorry...so I ask questions.

Just give it a try. BTW: It's not a kernel replacement, just a kernel module.
