not sure if you need it? while i was using CCRMA's FC4 kernels, i never 
had to install the source kernel package ... just do the 
./nvidia-installer thing ... although i seem to remember reading 
fernando saying something about the latest kernels needing source 
packages to compile modules (i've been building my own kernels for a 
while now, so this could be true). may as well try installing the nvidia 
module without kernel sources, see how it goes ;)
