Thank you for the advise,
I have installed nvidia drivers a few times and had no problems up until
now.
src's wouldn't work, premade mdk rpm's would not work (at least the
one "I believe" was the correct one) what ended up "working" was using
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.mdk90up.rpm
Still received an error saying that it might break my system - but I am
in Xwindows now and all is well!
Now on to find a decent mirror for 9.1!
Thanks again
Steve
