The order is not really important (see also below), but it is easier to install everything then reboot, instead of doing it in several passes. But whatever fits you better. > I'm assuming that I would need to uncomment the related atrpms lines found in > artoo's yum.conf. Having ATrpms in your yum.conf would help ;) Have also a look at http://atrpms.net/install.html > (I'm asking because with the livna driver, there was the instruction > recommending that the driver be installed *prior* to booting in the new > kernel.) You need the driver installed before entering X, so if you have the kernel already running you can install the kmdl, and restart X. No need to reboot (other than for the proper kernel upgrade itself). Please note that you need to check the generated /ect/X11/XF86Config.nvidia config file, which is not automatically copied over /ect/X11/XF86Config by the rpm to avoid any unwanted effects (e.g. people installing the nvidia-graphics drivers on ATI, etc.). -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
