I guess you never used or do not remember how quirky the installation
process was before Nvidia created the unified installer that they use
now.
They *DID* create "10-20 builds per driver version" - MORE. In fact
there were 2 rpms to install. I used this between RH7.2 till RH9(?) I
think.

Ya, I did forget the old system. Makes the new unified version seem all
that much
better. Funny, Livna brings the system back to two files =)
