You don't need "kernel-source" but you do need kernel-devel and the
development version of the particular kernel you are running, ie:
kernel-desktop
kernel-desktop-devel
kernel-devel

You do not need to edit /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf as the install script
will do that for you.

also not necessary.
