On SuSe 9.2 Professional?

I downloaded the driver, managed to work out how to install it as a root, but I end up with this error message:-

ERROR: You appear to be running an x server

Is there anyway to stop the server running whilst installing the driver?

I'm fresh out of the box with Linux, and I havent a clue what to do now, and I'm getting tired of typing:-

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762-pkg1.run -q

I've typed it that much that I remembered that off the top of my head, god knows what I'll end up dreaming about tonight! :)

So, has anyone else been through this?

P.S. I also know it's easier with YOU, but I don't have a Linux internet setup... Bloody WinModems! :/
