Hi,

I upgraded a FC1 box to FC2 and the dkms could not update the nvidia 
driver, leaving X hosed. When I tried to remove dkms with "rpm -e" it 
gave script errors at the end. I had to finally use "updatedb", "locate 
dkms", "rm -rf blah" and "rpm -e --noscripts" (I think) to remove the 
rest of dkms from the box and the rpm database.

Thanks,
John
