I'm running fedora here, and I haven't rebuilt a kernel for my fedora
systems ever. So you shouldn't have to do that to install the nvidia

(For the record I build kernels and entire linux distributions from source
quite often for my embedded system work, just not for my desktop PC running
FlightGear.)
Regards,
Curt.

Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
Installation's a snap, and flexible recovery options mean your data is safe,
secure and there when you need it. Data protection magic?
Nope - It's vRanger. Get your free trial download today.
