The nvidia cards work just fine in normal 2D mode out of the box, so
getting through the install does not require the nvidia drivers - after
you're up and running, you need only download the drivers directly to
your linux system and run the installer, so no intermediate download to
a windows pc is required or even desirable.
It is likely some other incompatibility in your system - does your
motherboard have a via chipset? what type of CPU? There are some command
line switches for the installer that could help, for instance typing
linux apm=off ide=nodma
or similar at the first installer prompt may get you through it.
FWIW I just installed Fedora Core 1 (think of it as RH 9.1) on a
Hyperthreading P4-2800 with a nvidia GeForce 5200 and it went
beautifully, so perhaps that's something to try if all else fails on RH9.
