hmmmm....
well... what you need to dl (i think)
is the GLX driver: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86_40/1.0-2960/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2960.i386.rpm
and the kernel driver: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86_40/1.0-2960/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2960.rh73up.i386.rpm

then once you downloaded it, all you neeed to do is type:
rpm -ivh /directory/path/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2960.i386.rpm
then:
 rpm -ivh /directory/path/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2960.rh73up.i386.rpm
that should install the drivers appropriatley. But you need to do a few other things... There is lots  -o- people here with Geforces isnt there??

when installing things from the console you either:
a) if its an .RPM type 'rpm -ivh program.rpm'
b) if its source (.TAR.GZ) type 'tar zxvf program.tar.gz' in the directory you want it installed.

Master of Reality:
the README:
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86_40/1.0-2960/README.txt

Calum:
it's better to get into the habit of doing
"rpm -Uvh blablabla.rpm"
than
"rpm -ivh blablabla.rpm"
since the U means upgrade, which will search for installed components and upgrade them.
