When you all say fresh install, does that include all updates (not
testing) as well?  Is this done before trying to install nvidia or
after?  

1 - Fresh install and configured (firewall, selinux, networking, etc) to
your liking
2 - Updates installed plus programs you like/want added
3 - Make sure your booted into the latest kernel you have installed
4 - Install akmod-nvidia and deps, then reboot.


Somewhat of how I do it and don't think I've had any problems installing
the akmod or any extra deps as it pulls it all in itself.
