xserver e nvidia

[gustavolinux]

People, I have to install a nvidia driver, and it tells to exit the X server before I start the installation... How do i do it? "init 1" does not work, because the driver doesn't allow also... How can I tell my system to not start X at runlevel 3?

Below, there is the message of the NVIDIA driver..

NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86 (96.43.07)

ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing. For further details, please see the section INSTALLING

THE NVIDIA DRIVER in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.

Thanx dudes
