Details

If the nvidia-installer part fails the package INSTALL script acts as though everything is fine. Instead I suggest it shows a "nvidia-installer failed, please see nvidia-installer.log for details" message and exits.

Also failure means that pacman -Ql nvidia shows invalid output seeing as the files don't get installed (although I don't understand why). I don't think this is avoidable though.

Thanks.

Sorry, I clicked OK before changing the category, I believe it should be in extra.

they get installed but removed after install, because you don'T need the drivers 2 times on hd, cache is enough.
