I checked the version #'s, and it looks like I wasn't using the Mandriva package installer for ivtv. I deleted 1.0.1 from my system, and I'm now trying to install 0.1.0. However, it's saying it also needs to install one of a list of what appears to be kernel packages like kernel-linus-2.6.21, kernel-tmb-desktop and such. What are these things? I just upgraded my kernel to 2.6.17-14 and I'd rather not upgrade again.
Can anyone give me more info on what these packages are and what they're gonna do?
