Installed ATI fglrx driver succesfully in Debian 'etch'

Everybody knows that installing ati's closed source driver fglrx in
unix is a bit hairy. I know several people who have smoked their box
in the process (that also includes me!). (debian unstable now includes
the fglrx driver, but i find it better 2 install the latest driver from
the card manufaturer)

Well after a lot of fiddling (or should i say a few crashes!) I was
able to install it withput any problem.

Here is the procedure I followed:

1, downloaded the latest version from ati's website. (8.27.10-1)

2. #sh /tmp/ati-driver-installer-8.27.10-x86.run --buildpkg Debian/etch

3. #dpkg -i fglrx-driver_8.27.10-1_i386.deb
fglrx-control_8.27.10-1_i386.deb fglrx-kernel-src_8.27.10-1_i386.deb

4. #apt-get install module-assistant

5. #module-assistant prepare

6. #module-assistant update

7. #module-assistant build fglrx

8. #module-assistant install fglrx

9. #depmod -a

10. #aticonfig --initial

11. #aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv

12. #mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri

13. #ln -s /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri

the driver installation was complete by now.
I checked if the driver installation was successfull by doing a reboot
and #fglrxinfo in the terminal.
I also ran #fgl_glxgears; i saw three gears spinning.
