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.
