Axel,
Does that mean that each time an Nvidia release takes place, you're only
building for the absolute latest CentOS Plus PAE?  In other words, if I run
a mainstream RHEL5/CentOS5 kernel, I could have any number of Nvidia
versions available, but if I run CentOS-Plus, I have to stick with
latest-and-greatest?  I'm just trying to gauge the level of risk involved
with running the CentOS 5 Plus kernel if I would like to handle firewire
capture on this same box.

Thanks.
