Hi, folks,
Well, still more fun (for values of fun approaching zero):
1. Went to install CUDA 9.0... well, gee, there is *no* CUDA 9.0.
Even though I installed the 9 repo, all that I get is 8. I've
used their webform, and an waiting on a reply.
2. I remove all nvidia packages.
3. It appears that the kmod-nvidia is what I need; that's what
nvidia-detect says. So I try to install... bzzt, thank you
for playing.

Well, no it's not complete, and it's trying to install in the *previous*
kernel, not the running one.
