Bug description:
I tried a number of things on a fresh liveUSB (2010-01-11 evening iso)

1. jockey-gtk - showed no drivers available

2. downloaded installer from nvidia.com, followed instructions
2.a. the kernel header package i installed was full of broken links and not much else (include/linux/kernel.h -> nowhere useful)
2.b. the kernel source package i installed and manually unpacked was not configured (include/linux/version.h missing)
