[Sussex] Debian install ?

So,

As it stands, I seem to have managed to install the debian woody base system.

I can't get X installed, as it would appear that woody doesn't have drivers 
for my nvidia GeForce 4 MX420 graphics card.

I get the message 

(EE) No devices detected

Fatal Server Error
No Screens Found

then theres a bit about bug reporting followed by

X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)

Now Ive got a link for up to date nvidia drivers, but with no X, no browser 
(and I don't know how to burn cd's with linux anyway!)

So, is there a way of getting the updated nvidia drivers without a browser or 
getting a newer version of X or perhaps because I have managed to get the 
base system installed, is there a way to get an updated distro i.e. Sarge ?

Any idea's much appreciated

regards

John D.
