I installed fedora the other day, and was just updating the Nvidia drivers for my GF2.
Well the Nvidia installer died
Its not my error but very similar

You appear to be compiling the NVIDIA kernel module with
a compiler different from the one that was used to compile
the running kernel. This may be perfectly fine, but there
are cases where this can lead to unexpected behaviour and
system crashes.
If you know what you are doing and want to override this
check, you can do so by setting IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH.
In any other case, set the CC environment variable to the
name of the compiler that was used to compile the kernel.

Looked it up, and its an easy fix
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/show...threadid=20628
type the following before runing the installer:
export CC=gcc32
Done!
Runs with no problems now
Also a thumbs up to Nvidia for improving their installer!
No longer need to download both packages, and editing config files.
Installer seems to do it all these days
It doesn't have a precompiled kernel for this distro so it automatically compiles it for you.
Just an FYI in case anybody else runs into the problem.
--- edit ---
scratch that, still need to edit the text file
I just checked and it wasn't changed.
There is a guy in that thread that puts it in a step by step tut though
(not the link from efnet, but just below it)
