All three of your rants fail to mention how you get the Nvidia
from livna or freshrpms. I am supposed to KNOW this somehow. I could
not use livna because I had no way to get it.
You've either missed or forgotten something very, very basic in this
process. You click on the URL for the right livna-release-xxx rpm,
(and I know the link has gone by several times in related posts
recently but I'm too lazy to look them up for you). The browser will
offer to install it for you - or you could download the rpm and
install it manually. After doing this you will have the livna repo
added to your yum configuration and can use 'yum search nvidia' to
find nvidia related things in configured repos and 'yum install ....'
to install packages you find.
Should I install ALL the files it finds? Here is what I got and it
is impossible to do anything.
