-We need to detect if the host is supplying the [NVIDIA driver libraries into the toolbox](https://github.com/containers/toolbox/blob/main/src/pkg/nvidia/nvidia.go).
+First, we need to detect if the host is supplying the [NVIDIA driver libraries into the toolbox](https://github.com/containers/toolbox/blob/main/src/pkg/nvidia/nvidia.go):
 
 ```bash
 ls -la /usr/lib64/libcuda.so.1
 ```
 
-**Explanation:**
+### If *`libcuda.so.1`* is missing:
+
+```
+ls: cannot access '/usr/lib64/libcuda.so.1': No such file or directory
+```
 
-- `nvidia-driver-libs` and `nvidia-driver-cuda-libs` contains necessary NVIDIA driver libraries required by CUDA,
-  on hosts with NVIDIA drivers installed the Fedora Container will supply the host libraries.
+**Explanation:**
+The host dose not supply the CUDA drivers, **install them now:**
 
-### Install Nvidia Driver Libraries on Guest (if `libcuda.so.1` was NOT found).
+#### Install the Nvidia Driver Libraries on Guest:
 
 ```bash
-sudo dnf install nvidia-driver-libs nvidia-driver-cuda-libs
+sudo dnf install nvidia-driver-cuda nvidia-driver-libs nvidia-driver-cuda-libs nvidia-persistenced
 ```
 
-### Manually Updating the RPM database for host-supplied NVIDIA drivers (if `libcuda.so.1` was found).
+### If *`libcuda.so.1`* exists:
+```
+lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 21 Mar 24 11:26 /usr/lib64/libcuda.so.1 -> libcuda.so.570.133.07
+```
+
+**Explanation:**
+The host is supply the CUDA drivers, **we need to update the guest RPM Database accordingly:**
 
-If the installation fails due to conflicts, we'll manually download and install the required packages, excluding conflicting files.
+#### Update the Toolbox RPM Database to include the Host-Supplied Libraries:
 
-#### 1. Download `nvidia-driver-libs` and `nvidia-driver-cuda-libs` RPM's (with dependencies)
+Note: we do not actually install the libraries, we just update the DB so that the guest system knows they are supplied by the host.
+
+##### 1. Download `nvidia-` parts that are supplied by the host RPM's (with dependencies)
 
 ```bash
-sudo dnf download --destdir=/tmp/nvidia-driver-libs --resolve --arch x86_64 nvidia-driver-libs nvidia-driver-cuda-libs
+sudo dnf download --destdir=/tmp/nvidia-driver-libs --resolve --arch x86_64 nvidia-driver-cuda nvidia-driver-libs nvidia-driver-cuda-libs nvidia-persistenced
 ```

-#### Finalizing the Installation of `nvidia-driver-libs` and `nvidia-driver-cuda-libs`
+**Note:** This is the same command as in the *"Install the Nvidia Driver Libraries on Guest"* for if *`libcuda.so.1`* was missing.
 
-After manually installing the dependencies, run:
 
 ```bash
-sudo dnf install nvidia-driver-libs nvidia-driver-cuda-libs
+sudo dnf install nvidia-driver-cuda nvidia-driver-libs nvidia-driver-cuda-libs nvidia-persistenced
