Leave out the version numbers Paul. Just: urpmi --wget kernel-source > http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/Mandrake/updates >/9.2/RPMS/kernel-source-2.4.22-21mdk.i586.rpm Yeah well it's there: ftp://mirrors.secsup.org/pub/linux/mandrake/Mandrake/updates/9.2/RPMS Try this, in that su terminal run the command: urpmi.update --wget -acf and then try the kernel source installation command above again. Let me know? That update command uses the wget flag 'cause a lot of times curl will fail and tells you nothing when it does so. Wget tries harder and "better." Also I added the -acf flags which means "all listed sources, clean headers, force update."

Is the kernel source the only listed update you haven't installed? RPM was updates recently along with a few other major 'drake utilities. I'd have a good look at the list in rpmdrake under the "by update availability>upgradable" heading after the command runs. > I'm right back at square one.... Not quite, at least you now have a valid source for things left off the download version due to disk space limitations. We can fix this Paul, just be patient with your helpers and yourself, all right?
