How do I do those 2 steps?
If it helps, the windows-7 control panel -> hardware and sound -> NVIDIA Control
Panel says I have GeForce GTX 660. It would have been bought in 2013.
You can boot and when the kernel selection comes up type "e" and then add
"3" to to linux line and the "control-X"
Or, boot normally and use "control-Alt-F3" to get to a terminal. This may or may
not work for you.
Use lspci and find the line the line for nvidia or use "lspci | grep -i nvidia"

That is the most important part. The GTX 660 requires the 470xx drivers.

If I remember correctly, I got the nVidia stuff from rpmFusion back in 2013. I see
"kmod" being patched/updated almost every time I do the weekly "dnf
update".
