And that may well be the diff right there, Claude, assuming freshrpms matches 
the fedora released kernel, so if you get one, get the other.  But I roll own 
so that didn't work, no match.

The only caveat to my method is that a new nvidia release needs to be built 
and installed from the .run package once so all the libraries match each 
other first, then my script does it thing until you dl a newer release.
