Nvidia has been playing nasty games with kernel and driver licensing for a long time. Actually read the installer. It plays fascinating, and unstable, games with the OpenGL drivers as well as the kernel. The results work, sort of, when first run, but the elrepo wrappers for those drives are usually much more effective and stable. Look in the elrepo repository for examples of better installers.
