While waiting for a more functional Anaconda I have been

The Noveau driver still crashes. Fortunately Nvidia still installs.
I am able to run SCO Openserver 5.0.7 under the virtual machine.
Select i686, pcnet, and 4.4bsd.
Audacity puts its data in the root segment by default. This eventually
overflows the small root FS generated by Anaconda.
Hmm, I wonder if they've made changes in upstream nouveau. I'm running rawhide and have not experienced any crashes of nouveau
(although I have other issues with nouveau, just not crashing) and *can't* get the nvidia driver to install (either from rpmfusion
or from nvidia directly; it doesn't build from the akmod, there is no kmod package for my kernel, and the nvidia .run file won't
build (I've sent a request to nvidia for help after doing some debugging)). It appears that the nvidia builder script doesn't take
into account include files that have been moved to uapi and/or generated/uapi (why must something that's working be messed with all
of the time?).

I am using NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-304.60.run
1. Change "rhgb quiet" to "nomodeset" in the active grub.cfg entry
2. Reboot
3. init 3
4. sh NV*
As I keyboard this, I am running Xfce with composting on.
Random screensavers are enabled. WSPR is running with
one sound card and a real serial port. Lady Heather is
running under Wine using a USB serial port to talk to
a Trimble Thunderbolt. Ham Radio Deluxe's rotator control
under Wine interrogates a rotator 1/sec using the other
USB serial port. Audacity has been recording sound
using the motherboard sound device for 21 hours.
I have also been playing with SCO Openserver 5.0.7 under
the virtual machine manager. Also have been using
VNC, Firefox to talk to the world. The system has not crashed
using the Nvidia driver. Knock on wood.
