Unfortunately, the average user you help on IRC does not even have a
clue how to open a console and type "init 3" and then explain them how
to execute and install the nvidia bimnary installer is a real PITA. (
try yourself one day /join #suse)

Users unfortunately does not care a shit about the legal or ethical
points on this, if SUSE does not have a quick and **extremely easy** way
to do this, they will simple switch to a distribution that is including
the drivers or providing a simple tool to install them. or will go back
to windows.

for me, and probably to every member of this list, installing the binary
driver aint a problem, but to the userbase this is a very seriuos
showstopper.
