Frank, It looks like you want the kernel-source-xx.i586.rpm, and not the kernel-2.x.x.src.rpm. The "src.rpm" is for doing a complete rebuild of all the kernel packages, compiled just for your box. Do you need all of the kernel packages, i.e. headers. docs, and other stuff? If not, just rpm the kernel-source-2.x.x.i585.rpm, and you should be fine. P.S. The version of the kernel-source rpm does indeed match your current core kernel rpm, right? j. craig woods UNIX SA
