When you go to download it says it pretty much the first thing:

"Downloading Ubuntu

      Ubuntu is easy to download. You can download a CD image and burn 
it yourself using a CD writer. You can download the ISO file directly, 
or join the Torrent by downloading the equivalent .torrent file from the 
download site of your choice. The download of a single ISO CD image is 
around 700MB.

Ubuntu 6.06

The following download sites are available; please choose the one 
closest to you. A site in the same country is usually best, if one is 
available. For space requirements and other information, *please see the 
Release Notes" <https://www.ubuntu.com/download/releasenotes/606>
*
and they are also right on the right-hand side of the page.

dpkg-reconfigure is just going to do the same reconfigurations the 
package does when installed. For install dpkg-reconfigure 
linux-image-`uname -r` will create a new initrd image.

Why can't you just add nvidiafb to /etc/modules?
