Livna don't have nvidia pacakage for fresh install of
fedora core 4 (kernel version 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4) so it
ends up installing the two version 2.6.12 (At least
when I tried it happend like that) and booting in
different kernel doesn't solve the problem. Blank
screen problem was still there. But following
instruction at
http://fedoranews.org/mediawiki/index.php/Fedora_Core_4_Linux_Installation_Notes#nVidia:
solved my problem.
