Nvidia Drivers...

After this problem:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=281031
I didn't want to deal with all the sh**, so I have installed a fresh copy...

Someone can give me the correct order of installing an Nvidia driver?
32BIT, and the kernel isn't PAE


I am guessing that I have made some mistakes..
The next update to the kernel - I will ask if I should update...

1. su
   yum update kernel\* selinux-policy\*
   reboot

   (if there's no updates then you don't need to reboot)
   

2. su
   yum install kernel-PAE-devel

3. su
   yum --nogpgcheck install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
   yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686

4. su
   mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
   dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

5. Reboot

This is for the PEA kernel?

It is for the PAE kernel.

Hmm, I read that you HAD a PAE kernel..
