Dear all,

Currently, I am trying to install NIST Net on Fedora Core 3 (kernel 2.6.9) following by the installation guide from http://snad.ncsl.nist.gov/nistnet/install.html

At the very first step, I don't understand why we should type these following commands:

I had installed Fedora Core, when I jumped to /usr/src/, I saw some folders without any file in side.
I think, for my PC, the kernel was installed in binary. But for the above quote guide, do I need to download kernel source and re-compile it?
If I don't follow that instruction, what's problem?

Thank you very much

fedora 3??? get rid of it. if you need fedora, use fedora 15.

install the kernel-devel rpm once installed (yum install kernel-devel) and go from there.

Because it is very difficult to install NIST Net on new kernel.
Unfortunately, when I typed "yum", it worked but when I typed "yum install libc". I have to wait for a long time and can not download package online. I think the yum repositories are too old.

yes, support for fc3 died many years ago. if it's not on your installation media you'll really struggle.
