    I'd already read up on the mailing list so I set CC=gcc32 straight 
off.  I'm using 4496 which I downloaded some time ago, and just 
transferred from my old partition.

    I checked out the link to http://www2.educ.umu.se/~peter/nvidia/ but 
the P4 directory turned me off.  I've had a look at your site but the 
layout is a bit confusing for me.  I did download an RPM since you sent 
the link.  I run the stock FC kernel so it errored on install.  I forced 
it with --nodeps (what the hell, the install is only a day old...) but 
the nvidia.o module did not load (big surprise).  I also got errors on 
installing the RPM to do with atrpm type commands.  I could not find any 
instructions with rpm -qpi <rpm> - where should I be looking?
