This is a good question.  I'm stuck at the base FC5 kernel until I can 
make an initrd for the latest kernel that works with my Intel SATA RAID 
container, yes I know I should be using software RAID, but I'm sharing 
this container between Vista, XP and Linux.  Of course this makes life 
hard for me. ;-) 
However, I can't find an old kmod-nvidia-smp that matches my kernel.  So 
I'm thinking I may as well just go get the Linux drivers from nvidia and 
do it the "old" way.

Then I thought, how many people use livna's drivers?  why isn't nvidia 
running a yum repository and doing the same thing?
