O.K
First do rpm -Uvh Nvidia.....
Then go and look in /usr/src/RPM/SPECS/
You will find a spec file there
Then give it rpm -ba --clean --rmsource
then go and look in /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i686/ (or your cpu)
You should find a brand spanking new rpm file there that you can just
install in the usual way ;-)
p.s
Do kernel first and then GLX
