I must be dreaming that I see this then !
Furthermore, livna had another issue besides having the 2798 kernel as a
dependency when fc6 was first released. I helped several other people
build drivers for 2798 when fc6 first shipped because NONE of us could
get the livna install working.
And furthermore, in this situation, livna would ONLY get my 2798 kernel
working AGAIN, not set up a driver for my 2835 kernel !
yum install kmod-nvidia
