How does one go about removing these RPM's from the system?? As the

As I don't wish to wait for new RPM's to become available when new
kernels are released. I'd like to rebuild it when needed.
Well, if you want to remove them, just run rpm -e on them. The names of
the rpms installed will be evident by doing rpm -qa \*nvidia\*. You will
however need to use --nodeps to uninstall nvidia-glx, and later
re-install XFree86-MEsa-libGL to satisfy the libGL.so.1 dependency.
That said, there is really no need to uninstall in order to upgrade.
Whenever a new kernel comes out, you rebuild the src.rpm and install the
resulting kernel-module-nvidia-driver rpm (note: you don't have to
re-install nvidida-glx when you upgrade the kernel!).
Hope this helps.

Thankyou Peter, will give that a try.

Wolf,Peter thanks for your help
I dl'd the .src.rpm and rebuilt/installed but the
kernel-module-nvidia * 10.1.i386.rpm required the nvidia-glx * 10.1.i386.rpm
and not the installed nvidia-glx * 8.i386.rpm.
It's only been in 20 min. so far so good.
