Of course, that's why I used "quotes." Anyway, it should boot machines
that have nVidia and machines that don't.

I was not impolite; you read too much between the lines. Please, I am
sincerely asking for help. I love GRML and want to "do it right" so I
don't create a mess out of (my own) ignorance -- and then have to bother
GRML with senseless questions. That is why I ask for exact steps.
nVidia support has been a troublesome Linux issue for a long time. I am
not an expert, but I know that much about nVidia, which is why I ask
exactly how to do it in GRML before changing the user machines. (They
complain a lot when things are not right, and I look bad, and GRML looks
bad to them.)
There is not a lot of traffic on the GRML mailing list. Also, I do not
bother you with "how do I install GNOME?" and such questions. I focus
on hardware/driver issues. I do not feel bad asking about those, even
if the answer is "obvious" to you.

There is a 1.4M file in GRML repository called
nvidia-kernel-2.6.15-grml_1.0.8178-1+grml.07_i386.deb
The file does not say "module" anywhere, so the name confused me. It
looks (to me) like a full kernel replacement. Not saying it's wrong,
just explaining how I got that impression.
Thank you for the outstanding work on GRML 0.6 everyone.
