ATRpms.net. 

To get a some sense of this mess one would have to;
For 32bit Install 1. and 3.. For 64bit install 1. and 2.. This is 
what you were referring to correct? That you say you installed once? 
I am just referring to the Legacy Graphic Cards for instance, to get
some idea from you about what you are talking about.

http://atrpms.net/name/nvidia-graphics-legacy-71xx/

1.http://atrpms.net/dist/el5/nvidia-graphics-legacy-71xx/nvidia-graphics71.86.04-71.86.04-93.el5.i386.rpm.html
2.http://atrpms.net/dist/el5/nvidia-graphics-legacy-71xx/nvidia-graphics71.86.04-kmdl-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5.centos.plus-71.86.04-93.el5.x86_64.rpm.html
3.http://dl.atrpms.net/all/nvidia-graphics71.86.04-kmdl-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5-71.86.04-93.el5.i686.rpm

I did notice while I was browsing the site it seems that the
the signed packages are expired. The package signature expired
in December of 2007. I'm pickey...
Signature:DSA/SHA1, Tue Feb 5 08:19:51 2008 ([expires: 2007-12-31])
There is also no yum repo configuration for RHEL 4 or 5, or for
CentOS for that matter. So give me some more insight on this way 
of the driver install from ATrpms. Like how you would direct the user
getting the appropiate files for the graphics cards.
