Yes, I know, and I had done that.  The error messages I originally 
reported were for a clean run of yum.

I will investigate the claim of another poster that the problem has 
cleared when I get home this evening.

I don't think it's my ISP (Bell South, AKA AT&T), as I've had no trouble 
with other recent yum updates or other Livna NVidia updates via yum in the 
past.  Just this most recent batch.  Also, I tried downloading the 
packages and installing them by hand at one point and X just crashed.  I 
haven't tried to troubleshoot that issue in any depth yet.

One other point.  I have another computer that uses the NVidia Legacy 
drivers from Livna, and it won't update those either.
