So after given a pointer from the red hat bugzilla to make sure my 'rpm'
package was upto date.  I did a yum upgrade rpm and that fixed the yum
crash.  I have since done a full yum update.  then a yum upgrade to F8.  I
am runnign F8 just find now.  But i still cant the nvidia driver to load.
ARG sometimes this makes me made.  I have done this so many times....
