How about the latest kernel-sources? is this one better than the previous? (kernel-source-1-1mdk.i586.rpm) <==== It looks to me like is a finger ERROR! It works and install fine, its just the naming scheme.... We use to have something like this! kernel-source-2.4.17.10mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm kernel-headers-2.4.17-22mdk.i586.rpm --=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Current Linux kernel 2.4.17-10mdk uptime: 19 hours 1 minutes.
