Go to step 2. on this page, http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=linux_display_1.0-3123
and you will find all instructions needed for either src.rpm or tar.gz formats. And it is explained in detail easy enough for a NooB like me to understand! In fact, I bookmark that web page so I can refer to it in case I forget how to install src.rpm's or tar.gz for any install (other than Nvidia) - granted, that some tar.gz's for example do install slightly different. But, that is why there is a README file (or an INSTALL file) included in most installations that will explain what exactly needs to be done. Myself, I use vi README or vi INSTALL to actually read those files - but you may not actually need to open either of those files. Nvidia explains everything for you on that web page. Good luck and if you need any more help just ask.
