Axel, I now have this in my /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repos file: [dag] name=Dag APT Repository baseurl=http://dag.freshrpms.net/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/ http://dag.atrpms.net/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/ http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/freshrpms/pub/dag/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/ enabled=0 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 ----------------------------- Now what yum commands do I need to execute to get yum to install the nvidia rpm's? And what exact nvidia rpm's do I need? Thanks.
