Cornellius Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 I tried to do that via (in KDE) Configuration -> Packaging -> Software Media Manager and I unchecked the 3 CD, and checked only ''update_source''. Is there something i'm doing wrong ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 probably a small bug... I don't think this script (or whatever it is) wasn't too polished as evident by the problems we have seen with CD number 4 listing that was included with the community release. You could try removing the 3 CDs (after making a note of how they are listed). I have installed a couple apps from a "contrib" source (including gimp2... that is not on the 3 CD set) and I had to insert CD2 to complete the install. I unfortunately wasn't watching too closely... could of been a missing depend it wanted too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 no, updates are just updates. You need other sources to satisfy dependencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornellius Posted March 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 I should type ''urpmi (what)'' in order to get the kernel ? I can't use the net as the only scource for urpmi dammit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illogic-al Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 are you using 10.0 CE? the update source is currently the cooker tree (which is frozen so only bugfixes are being submitted) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 NOTE: The kernel package is not going to show up via the GUI software installer. Although kernel-source will. From re-reading this thread and also your other thread in this forum, I think I may see what is happening here ??? You are looking to install a kernel package that is currently only listed in MDK 10 sources and you are most likely running a prior version and have sources configured for the prior version, which does not have this kernel available there and why your not getting it. So instead of configuring a 10 source for an earlier version, I would just download the following and then install with rpm: kernel-2.6.3.7mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm kernel-source-2.6.3-7mdk.i586.rpm Here's the commands: cd RPMs (RPMs would be the folder I saved the files to) su <enter root password> rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.3.7mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm lilo upon reboot, you should have a new entry to boot your new kernel (will look like "263" instead of "linux" if your booting lilo like me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornellius Posted March 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 what about the Kernel Headers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 (edited) kernel headers = kernel-source you can install same way: rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.3.7mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm Edited March 31, 2004 by scoopy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
