[gobolinux-users] Nvidia driver upgrade

[Otto Barnes]

Andy,

Nice script.  I fought with the nvidia drivers a while back and came
up with a script very similar to yours.  Added a command line argument
to take the nvidia package and a call to SymlinkProgram at the end to
get things in the right place.
