Be aware that if your graphic card is not recent enough, the installed driver will tell you that you need a particular prior version from nvidia's site. After using the Rpmforge version, I had to uninstall it, leaving the kernel devel stuff in place, and get the .96xx version from nvidia's site. It was still essentially a no-hassle operation though. You should have NP either way. -- Bill _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
