OK,  I downloaded kernel-source-2.4.22-21mdk.i586.rpm and got the following:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] rpms]# urpmi kernel-source-2.4.22-21mdk.i586.rpm
error: kernel-source-2.4.22-21mdk.i586.rpm: MD5 digest: BAD 
Expected(bff9f49500e6ab51f492e730640f53bc) != 
(0e3bdc812dbba76e3e0eb7416b59ad8f)
unable to register rpm file
medium "contrib" uses an invalid list file:
  mirror is probably not up-to-date, trying to use alternate method
Everything already installed
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rpms]#

what does that mean?  I tried to uninstall the same file using the graphical 
manager and it says that it isn't there.  When I click on the rpm in a gui 
file manager it says "Everything already installed"; I'm confused.

:-(

what next?
