It might, but I would like to work out why the update won't work. (It
may be that it isn't meant to and the above is what I'm supposed to be
doing, but then I'd like to determine that for sure.)

I'm fairly certain that that will work, but of course it doesn't really
narrow down why the update doesn't work, as this indicates it should:
$ sudo yum list updates
[snip]
Updated Packages
kernel-module-nvidia-2.6.10-1.770_FC3.i6 1.0.7167-0.lvn.1.3 livna-testing
nvidia-glx.i586 1.0.7167-0.lvn.1.3 livna-testing
If there is a bug in either the packages or yum I'd rather try to find
out what it is and report it rather than circumvent it. I'm not
*desperate* for the nvidia update :-)
Best, Darren
