http://forums.fedoraforum.org – After several failed attempts to install nvidia hardware drivers that resulted in an unusable system, I've been wondering if there is an easy way to get back the system without having to reinstall entirely? The guide on this forum is great: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=204752 but inevitably there seem to be teething troubles. So if the nvidia driver install has gone awry, is it possible to edit grub or use a LiveCD to access the installed system and edit some other config file to restore nouveau? (HowTos)
