-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I understand that a kernel-source rpm is not the same as a kernel.src rpm. What I do not understand is that I have just updated all my sources, including contribs, AND I added the urpmi sources indicated for the kernel-source-tmb kernel on the MandrakeClub download pages. I then ran "urpmi kernel-source" and expected urpmi to provide a list of rpms containing "kernel-source" - because when I tried to download the kernel-source-tmb rpm itself from the link on the download page at MandrakeClub, it failed and said it doesn't exist. I assumed (after trying a half dozen other provided links to sources) that perhaps the kernel-source-tmb version had changed and instead of trying to download a specific (broken) kernel-source-tmb rpm, I would let urpmi select the proper rpm for me AFTER I updated all my sources AND added a new one from the MandrakeClub urpmi setup link.
I DID get a short list of available kernel-source rpms but they did not include kernel-source-tmb (this inspite of the fact that I added the urpmi source from MandrakeClub that explicitly pointed to the site that supposedly contained it). I ended up going to the mandrake devel cooker site and manually downloading the kernel-source-tmb rpm there. The MandrakeClub links and urpmi instructions are erroneous.
