[NTLUG:Discuss] RedHat Nvidia Drivers

[Paul Drew]

Howdy,
I will try this when I get home from work tonight. I do appreciate everyones 
feedback on all this. There is no nvidia.0 and I am given an error stating 
something similar to "Cannot build against version of kernal currently 
running "

I will try all this again, and report back with much more specific errors 
should I encounter them. Thanks for your time :)

Paul Drew
