I was reading on another section that a guy mounted an old iso to replace the nvidia drivers, I was just wondering how he mounted it in such a way to get the debian drivers, when I mount the image I get the usually Knoppix and Boot folders. I am using R5F27 and of course have the screen flicker with an Nvidia 4000 series card.

Thank You.
