Hahha... thats why I said that I wont be using it before a month. BTW I suggest you wait for about 15-20 days then most of the problems wil be sorted out.Fedora posts a 450MB upgrade for core 4 just three days old. Thats not fair.

BTW I do remember that there was as simple change needed to be done after extracting the driver, although I also doubt it my be necessary, but I had read it on some forum I dont remember.

Well I pradeep I refered to this step exactly, I cannot undestand the -extraction here???pradeep_chauhan said:version 1.0-7664.
give the command as root
#./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7664-pkg1.run --extract-only
Now I am in confusion??harmax said:so will these changes be incorporated into the 4 disc iso's or will the updates have to be downloaded seperately??
pradeep_chauhan said:FC4 ships with the new GCC ver 4 so the normal process of running the script does not work, which is the basic way how the nvidia modules are inserted in the kernel and the driver setup. In fc3,gentoo,debian, the other distro that i use at home this method works but does not work on FC4. So after lot of hit and trial the extraction tecnique is the one that worked and thats the reason i made this post so that other users struggling with the same problem can try it.
Most of the 450MB updates are the new version of KDE 3.4.1 that has been released for FC4 so if one is not a KDE fan he can choose to ignore the updates.

There is an easy way for installing such applications, especially the ones which ask for dependencies.
Issue Applications>> System Settings>> Add remove Applications. Here when you choose any application to be installed in the redhat package installation program.
After choosing hit update and now in the poped-up dialog box hit 'details' and copy the named rpms it needs from the CDs into a directory.
With roots permission issue rpm -iUvh *.rpm in the directory from a terminal to install them at one go.
harmax said:but that still does not free me form switching cd's and to add to the problem ill have to search the listed rpms on the cd's
