As of my latest update to FC3-test2 on 9/27/2004 , The
NVIDIA-Linux-1.0-6111 driver still does not load properly on start up.
It is necessary to run the installation program each time the machine is
booted.
Also it is necessary to run /sbin/modprobe nvidia manually to get the
nvidia module to load.
Once the installation process is repeated X windows will respond to
startx and the machine
runs OK.
It also appears that up2date and yum are not working properly.
Both yum and up2date will startup , but they are so slow that they are
nearly useless.
For some reason I can use Mozilla and go directly to the yum mirror server
and then manually download the new RPM files using FTP and then install
using rpm -Uvh *.rpm.
Perhaps there are so many people updating that yum and up2date can not
handle the load.
