Hello everybody! I wanted to install the nvidia video drivers from livna. I used the following command: yum install kernel-module-nvidia-$(uname -r) Here is the yum output: [root@hst-1-98 ~]# yum install kernel-module-nvidia-$(uname -r) Setting up Install Process Setting up Repos livna-stable 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 evrocomrepo 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 updates-released 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 livna-unstable 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 livna-testing 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 126 kB 00:06 MD Read : ################################################## 530/530 livna-stab: ################################################## 530/530 primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 389 kB 00:04 MD Read : ################################################## 1024/1024 evrocomrep: ################################################## 1024/1024 primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 656 kB 00:45 MD Read : ################################################## 1837/1837 extras : ################################################## 1837/1837 primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 389 kB 00:20 MD Read : ################################################## 1024/1024 updates-re: ################################################## 1024/1024 primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 45 kB 00:02 MD Read : ################################################## 107/107 livna-unst: ################################################## 107/107 primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 797 kB 00:41 MD Read : ################################################## 2623/2623 base : ################################################## 2622/2622 primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 157 B 00:00 Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

My system is Fedora Core 3, fully updated. What could be the problem? -- Peter Kostov, Photographer Sofia, Bulgaria Home site - www.light-bg.com
