If you already are using pacifist you can save a lot of steps, open the update package with Pacifist and deselect the Nvidia kexts only

Pacifist doesn't run the post install scripts.

[macgirl]

True, but you can extract the pre instal, post install, and runAtStartup scripts, and since you need to edit the script that replaces the files at 1st reboot it could work.

 

More complex, now that I am seeing the scripts...

Where can I get these scripts on 10.5.3 combo update?
