Thanks Nando - it worked perfectly!

I know in the past you had said what the command was to Fedora kernel updates, but I cannot remember what it was.  Please remind me.

Sorry for the delay, it is now available in planetcore-testing for fc14, 
if you upgrade you should get a akmod-nvidi package from 
planetcore-testing instead of rpmfusion, and it has the patch that 
enables it to build on rt kernels (make sure you have the kernel-*-devel 
package for the rt kernel in question installed before you reboot).
