[ATrpms-users] Help! Installed Krnl 2.6.14-1.1656 but no v.8178 nvidia module for it.

[Kirk Grell]

Ok, now I feel dumb.  :)  Thanks!

When I did the 'yum search smart', it returned a whole
lot of stuff.  So, I figured a 'yum install smart'
would end up asking me if I wanted to install a whole
lot of stuff.

Thanks again.
