Any reason yum isn't automatically updating these for you? Hi Phil, Three reasons: 1) elrepo has a bad habit of not playing well with the other children in the sandbox, especially RPM Forge. So I leave the elrepo repo turned off. And as such, I am usually not aware of an available update from it. 2) although I know how to cope with it (I made copious notes), I have had a number of bad experiences with X11 not starting after upgrading these drivers. It is a pain in the neck. 3) I am allergic to automatic updates. They make me say words that are not in the dictionary (although Microsoft actually is in the dictionary). This is a mission critical machine. I can not be having bad updates crash me. I have had this experience too many times. So, I look at the update icon in my task bar to see if anything new is available, then I review and choose what I wish to update. And I know who got updated in case all hell breaks loose. Just out of interest, I find less troubles with Fedora's updates than SL's. That being said, I just updated before writing you and everything rebooted fine. Wrote myself a script to do the update. And before anyone asks, I use su instead of sudo because it is far more trouble free. And, you will have to remove Thunderbird's forced scroll on the Cmd line. Thank you for the help! Very much appreciated. -T #!/bin/bash Cmd=yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=elrepo* upgrade nvidia-x11-drv nvidia-x11-drv-32bit kmod-nvidia echo $Cmd su root -c $Cmd

One of the ELRepo team members is Dag. And he runs repoforge/rpmforge (surprise!!). So, there should not be any trouble between the two repos. ;-) Akemi

EPEL is the one with the dependency nightmares. I only leave the SL repos and rpmforge turned on.

Re: plugin problem
Hi Vivek--did you install x86_64 version or i386 version. A lot of plugins are hard to find for the x86_64 version.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 It is easier than it used to be. The trick is to use/install nspluginwrapper which makes 32 bit plugins available to x86_64 installed firefox. Java can be installed from a current sun java release by symbolically linking the file /usr/java/jre1.6.0_13/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so into your ~/.mozilla/plugins directory.
