Hi,

I have fedora core 6 installed on a Dell laptop. I am looking to install the kernel-devel through yum or yumex.
I can manually download the kernel-devel package but i want to get yum or yumex to do it.

Here is my kernel info:

[root@localhost ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 #1 SMP Mon Oct 16 14:37:32 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I have these repos enabled in yumex:
fedora-development
fedora-core
dries
fedora-extras
freshrpms
macromedia
fedora-updates

kernel-devel for my kernel does not show up with those repos selected. the xen version for kernel-devel is present.

Just using yum:

[root@localhost ~]# yum install kernel-devel

I really don't know what is going on? I know I can dowload it manually but would like to get yum to do it. Thanks for your help

Its probably already installed. What is the result of doing

[ryan@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i kernel
kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
kernel-headers-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
[ryan@localhost ~]$

I guess it is installed already... weird thought I had checked!
Thanks!

Ryan
