Assume nothing is often the way to go.

Yep. A while ago, Chmou decided and managed to give us a kernel-source
rpm ready to go. I just assume it is not easy to do right now.
A standard user should not be required to compile anything anyhow.
Dealing with the kernel requires a knowledge that most advanced users
don't even have (a very good book is online though). That is surely why
NVidia decided to go with this awkward installer, I assume.
I'd say it was easier before, but thanks to Cooker for keeping me awake.
