so you are saying that you are happy with


kerenel<2.6.12 conflicts initsapts

kernel <2.6.17 conflicts autofs

kernel <2.6.17 conflicts with hal.

kernel<2.6.13 conflicts with kuduzu

all not working?

If so, then rpm with the --nodeps and --force options.

these messages were telling you that each of these features, or apps, were not going to work with a kernel version lower than the one it was telling you.

kerenel<2.6.12 conflicts initsapts

kernel <2.6.17 conflicts autofs

kernel <2.6.17 conflicts with hal.

kernel<2.6.13 conflicts with kuduzu

For instance, the second one "kernel <2.6.17 conflicts autofs" means that autofs is not going to work with a kernel version lower than 2.6.17.
