Do you have to install dsl to a hard disk or usb pen drive before u can update to the better nvidia drivers?? cause if not i cant figure out why i cant put the XFree86 file into my /usr/etc/X11/ folder, any help would be appreciated. I just keep getting the Permission Denied Error. Im sorry if this has already been covered in another section of the forum, i dont mean to repost if i did.

You never have to install DSL to harddrive.  Some things might be a little more complicated in liveCD or frugal (at least for now), but anything you need can be accomplished.

Writing to /etc requires root power (i notice you put /usr/etc/X11...i don't think that's correct).  Open up a terminal, type "sudo su", and then you can copy the files.
If you actually do need to write to /usr, you may need to first run "/etc/init.d/mkwriteable" to replace the /usr symlink with a /usr directory.
