Hi all and thanks for your answers, Before applying your suggestions, I want to try on my home pc and then reinstall again my office linux formatting the hd (it is not a problem as I mounted /home in another partition and openafs was the first custom software I tried to install). So I'm restarting again with a clean system and i want to do only reversibile actions. As a first approach, I want to try again with the RPM distributed from Mandriva (last time I didn't notice that there are some in the Contrib mirror: ftp://bo.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/Mandrake/official/2006.0/i586/media/contrib).
So I found the following RPM about afs (short name:long name): ------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ urpmf --name afs openafs:openafs-1.3.87-2mdk.i586.rpm libopenafs1:libopenafs1-1.3.87-2mdk.i586.rpm openafs-client:openafs-client-1.3.87-2mdk.i586.rpm libopenafs1-devel:libopenafs1-devel-1.3.87-2mdk.i586.rpm dkms-libafs:dkms-libafs-1.3.87-2mdk.i586.rpm openafs-doc:openafs-doc-1.3.87-2mdk.i586.rpm openafs-server:openafs-server-1.3.87-2mdk.i586.rpm libkrbafs0:libkrbafs0-1.2.2-4mdk.i586.rpm libkrbafs0-devel:libkrbafs0-devel-1.2.2-4mdk.i586.rpm krbafs-utils:krbafs-utils-1.2.2-4mdk.i586.rpm ------------------------------------------------------------------- I need only the client so I think I have to install openafs & openafs-client for sure, it is not clear (from the list of files) if I need libopenafs1 or libopenafs1-devel, and the kernel module should be in the dkms-libafs RPM. This one maybe will require also dkms package, that seems to be a way to dinamically link in the kernel the modules ditributed via RPM. Maybe I will need also the kernel sources (In Mandriva kernel-sources, there are no kernel-devel or kernel-header): --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ uname -a Linux localhost 2.6.12-12mdk #1 Fri Sep 9 18:15:22 CEST 2005 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ unknown GNU/Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ urpmf --name kernel-source kernel-source-2.6:kernel-source-2.6-2.6.12-12mdk.i586.rpm kernel-source-2.6:kernel-source-2.6-2.6.12-18mdk.i586.rpm kernel-source-stripped-2.6:kernel-source-stripped-2.6-2.6.12-18mdk.i586.rpm kernel-source-2.6:kernel-source-2.6-2.6.12-12mdk.i586.rpm kernel-source-stripped-2.6:kernel-source-stripped-2.6-2.6.12-12mdk.i586.rpm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Which is the the difference between stripped or not? In the list of kernels, but (it seems) without sources, I found also ones with "i686" (which is the difference i586/i686?), "up-4GB", and others. In particular I found also: kernel-multimedia-2.6.12-12.mm.1mdk:kernel-multimedia-2.6.12-12.mm.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm, kernel-multimedia-source:kernel-multimedia-source-2.6.12-12.mm.1mdk.i586.rpm & similar that is declared as an "hack" experimental kernel with a lot of things inside and in particular the afs module.. But maybe the standard way is better.. Are there all the RPMs I need? Which is the best and safest procedure to use? Sorry for this long post and I thank you again Bye, Matteo _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
