When I attempt to install nvidia drivers from livna I get the following error ...

Transaction Check Error: package kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 is already installed

Steve,

Thank you for the info. My first attempt to fix this was unsuccessful. I think my menu.lst
file became corrupt. I'll give it another try tonight.

I hope this issue is resolved quickly via an update as I am sure the number of
folks using Fedora with nvidia video cards is very high.

John

You have a kernel conflict. May be your kernel is diferent than your architecture. Check this (http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=134287)
