livna video drivers for idiots

On some forum today, a claim was made that Ubuntu should be used if you 
want to use nvidia drivers because Fedora is difficult to install them in.

I have nothing against Ubuntu (except for their sudo defaults and lack 
of a root passwd by default, but that's another discussion) but that 
statement about fedora just wasn't true. So I detailed the four or five 
lines it takes  in a terminal to get the livna packaging installed and 
configured, and the argument then was that it still was too hard.

If some people really feel that way - well, I guess it could be made easier.
I don't have a fedora box at the moment so I have only dry run tested 
this script in CentOS - but perhaps someone running Fedora can fine tune 
this and get it up onto a useful wiki?
