Trying to install the kernel-source rpm from cd3 (using rpm -ivh, because I
don't really have the CDs handy, just the iso images on disk), I'm told that it
requires the ncurses-devel package. However, ncurses-devel isn't on any of the
CDs. Here's what I'm seeing from a terminal:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -ivh ~newren/kernel-source-2.4.21-3mdk.i586.rpm
warning: /home/newren/kernel-source-2.4.21-3mdk.i586.rpm: V3 DSA signature:
NOKEY, key ID 70771ff3
error: Failed dependencies:
ncurses-devel is needed by kernel-source-2.4.21-3mdk

So it appears that only ncurses and ncurses-extraterms have been included on the
CDs making it impossible (without using --nodeps, which I did) to install the
kernel-source rpm.
