Sounds good. It is only 11:20AM in my part of the world. FWIW, you may see something like this in the akmods.log 2016/10/16 14:05:05 akmods: Building and installing nvidia-kmod 2016/10/16 14:05:05 akmods: Building RPM using the command '/sbin/akmodsbuild --target x86_64 --kernels 4.7.7-200.fc24.x86_64 /usr/src/akmods/nvidia-kmod.latest' 2016/10/16 14:06:34 akmods: Installing newly built rpms 2016/10/16 14:06:34 akmods: DNF detected 2016/10/16 14:06:52 akmods: Successful. The most important thing is "Successful" which means the nvidia-kmod package has been built and successfully installed. I've not down an install of a "fresh" system in a long time. I think that on the first install it does check if an nvidia-kmod package exists for all installed kernels. So, if you have more than one kernel installed it will take a longer time for the process to complete. > > > On 10/19/2016 09:01 PM, Ed Greshko wrote: >> >> On 10/20/16 10:28, Lawrence E Graves wrote: >>> It does not allow you to get that far.
