Hello guys, I made an offline copy of the Nvidia 560 Beta README file, because I like to have it stored locally as opposed to having to be connected to the internet persistently, so I thought I would share it with you guys.
Nvidia_560_offline_readme.gz (1.1 MB)
I also put it on this filebin… I don’t even know, how do you upload a simple file to the internet, without all these paywall websites getting in the way.
and I even made source notes… with more information
about the driver, and how I created an offline copy of the readme…

# how to make an offline mirror(copy) of a website using wget
Make Offline Mirror of a Site using `wget`
Sometimes you want to create an offline copy of a site that you can take and view even without internet access. Using wget you can make such copy easily:
wget --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites
--no-parent -erobots=off http://example.org
Explanation of the various flags:
--mirror – Makes (among other things) the download recursive.
--convert-links – convert all the links (also to stuff like CSS stylesheets) to relative, so it will be suitable for offline viewing.
--adjust-extension – Adds suitable extensions to filenames (html or css) depending on their content-type.
--page-requisites – Download things like CSS style-sheets and images required to properly display the page offline.
--no-parent – When recursing do not ascend to the parent directory. It useful for restricting the download to only a portion of the site.
-erobots=off (ignore robots.txt that tells web crawlers to ignore web pages)

# How to use the offline readme
# use the index.html file within the directories, and drag it,
# into a web browsers url box, or type in the location of the index.html
# file into a url box to open up the offline readme.
