Sounds good.  It is only 11:20AM in my part of the world.

FWIW, you may see something like this in the akmods.log

2016/10/16 14:05:05 akmods: Building and installing nvidia-kmod
2016/10/16 14:05:05 akmods: Building RPM using the command '/sbin/akmodsbuild --target
x86_64 --kernels 4.7.7-200.fc24.x86_64 /usr/src/akmods/nvidia-kmod.latest'
2016/10/16 14:06:34 akmods: Installing newly built rpms
2016/10/16 14:06:34 akmods: DNF detected
2016/10/16 14:06:52 akmods: Successful.

The most important thing is "Successful" which means the nvidia-kmod package has been
built and successfully installed.

I've not down an install of a "fresh" system in a long time.  I think that on the first
install it does check if an nvidia-kmod package exists for all installed kernels.  So, if
you have more than one kernel installed it will take a longer time for the process to
complete.
