On the converse, the NVidia site's package *is* hazardous, and *does* stuff up your system. It's always a gamble installing extra stuff that's not managed by your package manager (whatever that may be, yum, rpm, etc.), and NVidia does muck up files that are normally managed by rpm. It's only safe to install unmanaged things when they install completely separate from your system, and don't change other files on your system. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
