Kewl, this speeds things up a bunch, thanks for the tip!

Where I'm at now: 

Driver *is* installed and I can force it to load with "modprobe nvidia" then 
using your shortcut X and KDE starts. Have tested (with both a game and a 
movie) and do have accelerated graphics! Upon rebooting it gives the same 
error I was getting before I found the forcing suggestion.

Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!
Screen(s) found, but none have a useable configuration.

Am currently searching nvnews.net... Hmm, just found this; "Put nvidia 
in /etc/modprobe.preload." Will report back later, my son is playing with 
the test box now;-)

Oh, earlier today I was chasing a red herring error message. The installer 
gives a warning about a "rivafb module". This is a non issue on Mandrake 
10.1 and can safely be ignored, not sure about other distros.
