Axel,
I now have this in my /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repos file:
[dag]
name=Dag APT Repository
baseurl=http://dag.freshrpms.net/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/
http://dag.atrpms.net/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/
http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/freshrpms/pub/dag/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/
enabled=0
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
-----------------------------
Now what yum commands do I need to execute to get yum
to install the nvidia rpm's? And what exact nvidia
rpm's do I need?
Thanks.
