how do you come to that conclusion?
don't touch anything else the dnf
The xxx.run file is a shell script which reads...
if [ "$1" = "-help" -o "$1" = "--help" -o
"$1" = "-h" ]; then
echo ""
echo "$0 [options]"
echo ""
echo "This program will install the NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for"
echo "Linux-x86_64 375.66 by unpacking the embedded tarball and executing"
echo "the ./nvidia-installer installation utility."
which is not something I could install using dnf?
(or are we talking at cross purposes?)
I was trying to understand how the drivver from Nvidia got into my system,
whether by my download or via the rpmfusion dnf install?
