I'm in the US and thus under the same constraints that the fedora 
project claims prevent them from mentioning anything that might help 
circumvent patent or dmca laws.  And I don't have a place to put the 
instructions on how to use livna to install the Nvidia driver that would 
be any easier for someone to find than livna itself.  The fedora project 
omits that as a matter of policy.

There's not much you can do about other people's policies.  It's sort of 
like watching a train wreck, though. What is happening to Karl (and 
probably lots of other people who aren't as persistent and don't get as 
far as this mail list) is a result of a policy that does not put 
users/usability first.
