I've got
ncurses-5.2-16mdk
libncurses5-5.2-16mdk
libncurses5-devel-5.2-16mdk
installed and had no dependency messages. They must'a been on my CD's
'cause I didn't d/l and install 'em ;)
While we're at it, I booted 8.1's 2.4.8 and removed 2.4.10-1mdk
before installing -2mdk. There's been some discussion on cooker that
installing -2mdk over -1mdk won't create the proper links in /boot.
I use a bashrc alias to check /boot before I try to use a new kernel.
alias bootlinks="ll /boot/{initrd,vmlinuz,System.map}*"
and I didn't have a link problem either.
