NVidia and FC6

For some reason Anaconda likes i586 kernels, and installs them by default. This upsets the system, and the NVidia compatibility in particular. I attempted to install a new driver (9629 or 9626) after installing a new kernel (2.6.18-1.2835) . There's a day of my life I want back. 9629 later turned out to have a bug that causes a "segmentation fault" upon any glx-related call. 9626 was reputed as one that should work, but refused to install (i.e. compile the kernel source). This glitch was finally fixed by touching a file called config.h (sought by the NVidia code in the kernel source tree). Namely : /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)-i686/include/linux/ .
