I've got a new nVidia video card.  I was told that of the tar, rpm and 
rpm.src [for the nVidia drivers], that the later was the best method 
[although from everything I've seen, it seems to be a matter of 
preference]. 

I need kernel headers, make and gcc installed to "rpm --rebuild".  I 
have never done a rpm --rebuild and was told that if the rebuild failed 
that I would need to install the source.

I'm inclined to think that I shouldn't have any problem with the rebuild 
though.
