And, ever since Matthias Saou made DKMS nvidia package available from Freshrpms (thks Matthias! =)), I haven't needed to manually install nvidia's .run driver packages. (even back then when I needed to do it, all I had to do was run the .run package with -aqn parameters and all would go well in under 5min) Of course, YMMV. Andre -- Andre Oliveira da Costa
