[LUG] Debian and Nvidia driver

 

Argh this is driving me nuts now. It's all very well Debian having this 
free/non-free thing, so long as it doesn't blow up...

I've literally just installed Debian onto a system for a friend, using 
the network installation CD, so it should all be freshly downloaded 
packages. I am trying to install the nvidia driver.
I've added non-free onto the ends of the lines in sources.list.
But it just won't have it.
Everything depends upon nvidia-kernel-common, which apparently doesn't 
have an installation candidate. Is this my problem or is the repo broken?

Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Simon

(sorry for the rantyness).
