First thing that happened when I installed the beta was the lack of X, 'cause I have a GeForce4, so if ppl are goin to install and use a NVidia models GeForce or Tnt (I cant garantee for quadro or others), this info will come in handy.
Here is how I installed NVidia drivers on Severn release 2:
Download the latest driver:
wget ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-4496/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run
If you try to run this as is, you will only got an error when it tries to recompile a module for our kernel acusing diferent compilers, so lets do this at comand line:
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run --add-this-kernel
Gotta thanks the NVidia programmers for that one. After it all done you can run the new installer:
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2-custom.run and everything should be fine. Update /etc/X11/XFree86Config you it wasnt already prepared for their drivers and have fun with your bug hunting with the possibility to watch dvds on tv-out during breaks :)

ps: Is this the definitive logo for Fedora Core? It is kinda ... basic... ps2: I upgraded from Shrike and couldnt select pckages. Thats bad :(
Different compilers were used. Let the Nvidia installer think the kernel was compiled with gcc-3.2 ;
# CC=gcc32 sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run

is the documented way of doing the same, just for completeness' sake.

I believe that actually compiles the driver with gcc 3.2, and not gcc 3.3 as IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1 would lead to.

Documented but wrong. It's not safe to use a different compiler to build a module than the compiler used to build the kernel. Small differences between the ABIs implemented by the compilers could render the whole system unstable.

True enough, but we don't get the exact compiler the kernel was compiled with. It appears (for my current kernel, 2.4.22-1.2061.nptl) that it's "gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-6)", which definitely isn't the version of gcc I have from Severn, "gcc version 3.3.1 20030915 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.1-5)" - what choice do users have then? :(

See disk 3, gcc32 rpm.

Doh. Righty, thanks. ;-)
(Now to fix my NVIDIA driver updater script...)
