Hi Dave,
the easiest way to install the proprietary Nvidia drivers on Fedora is
to use the RPM Fusion repositories.
The installation instructions for RPM Fusion are at
http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration.
Once the configuration files are installed you can install the Nvidia
driver as root on the command line with:
yum install akmod-nvidia
Best,
Andreas
