So decided this was just too much for a new F7 and I will wait until

Is there some reason you keep using a fast-changing distribution like
fedora? If you don't enjoy the challenge, there are more stable
alternatives.
Yes I could stay with F7 or go back to FC4 where I was for quite a
few years. But neither of those choices sound good now. I noticed the
www.atrpms.net has the nvidia rpm's for F8 already. That is pretty fast.
I meant compared to Centos5 which is essentially a frozen FC6 except for
security and bugfix updates with a stable kernel module interface, or
some distribution that is less antagonistic to the 3rd party module
providers.
I like to keep a copy of fedora around for testing because they push out
changes that often end up in other distributions but I wouldn't want to
depend on it as my only OS and certainly not on any machine that needs a
3rd party kernel module to be usable. If you haven't noticed, keeping
nvidia drivers working is not a priority in fedora.
