having used livna's mods hardly, is there an rpm that will automake or
use the newer kernel without having to reinstall and/or rebuild the

There is a thread called Today's Kernel is no good and a few comments 
floating around. You might sit back and see if the new kernel becomes 
the newer kernel.

Now if only the nv driver would work on my system long enough to just
do the install I would be really happy.

Unfortunately the text based installer doesn't allow you to pick and
choose your packages or I would use it.

You can use yum search to get a list of matching packages,
then yum install to install exactly the one you want once
you know the full names.

You should be able to use the vesa driver.  I think you enter linux
vesa on the prompt line when you boot the installer.

The vesa driver works correctly. Thank you!
