For example, as root run ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.12.run (or the package you used to install previously). You'll need to run 'init 3' first.
If you want NVIDIA driver to be used for a number of kernels, install it once and then for additional kernel use ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.12.run -K - it will add driver module for this kernel and will not mess with X.
Also, instead of init 3 you can just type 3 in boot options (on the boot-up screen). Many thanks, guys. See my [SOLVED] reply later in the thread. I am aware of init 5, rather than rebooting after building the nvidia drivers, to get back to the GUI, but, what the heck, it's the way I did it. ;)
