[oi-dev] Nvidia Driver 470.256.02 fails to load properly

[Atiq Rahman]

Hi Marcel,
Thank you.

driver/graphics/nvidia

How can I replace that package on usb image (OI-hipster-gui-20250606.usb)
with 570.169 before I write it onto my USB drive?

During the boot of live usb image I don't have a network connection (have
to see if wireless drivers are working after installation is complete) to
install packages.

Best!

Atiq
