Hi.

In my Mdk 10.1 Community, when I tried to install the kernel-source
with the command '# urpmi kernel-source', first I got the message

unable to read rpm file [/mnt/cdrom/media/main2/kernel-source-2.6-2.6.8.1-10mdk.
                                         i586.rpm] from medium "Installation CD
2 (x86) (cdrom2)"

, and then in the end the message:

        Installation failed, some files are missing:
                /mnt/cdrom/media/main2/kernel-source-2.6-2.6.8.1-10mdk.i586.rpm
        You may want to update your urpmi database

. What's that? What to do?

Thanks,
Rodolfo

First thing that comes to my mind is that somehow urpmi was unable to read your CD. Please check if you are able to read content of this CD (with Midnight Commander, for example - "mc" command - or ordinary "ls /mnt/cdrom"). If you are able to and still somehow have problems with urpmi, you can use "rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.6-2.6.8.1-10mdk" when you are in RPM directory of your CD. That way you should be able to install this particular package.
But keep in mind that you will propably want to update your system to 10.1 Official ASAP. To do that, add 10.1 Official media to your repository lists (without 10.1 Official update, you'll add it *after* you're done with moving to 10.1 Official). Google "Easy URPMI" to find a web page that makes this easy. Now the latest kernel version for 10.1 is 2.6.8.1-12mdk.
