Ello all, im a pretty new player in linux and seem to be haveing trouble installing my kernel source rpm in RedHat 9 so that I can install my graphics driver. When I try to install It i type
"rpm -i kernel-source-2.4.20-20.9.i386.rpm" and get this back "error: kernel-source-2.4.20-20.9.i386.rpm: headerRead failed: hdr blob(1491548): BAD, read returned 1105399" Anyone have any ideas what im doing wrong please help. Thanks for your time, easts85 |
Hello!
For sure, I am not very experienced in Linux, too. But I installed the Kernel sources via the Redhat paket installer tool. I use a german distribution, the program is named "Hinzufügen/Entfernen von Applikationen" here. I thinit its english pendant is called add/remove applications or something like this. This tool fails with uninstalling, but I never had problems, installing some packages... Greetz, Clemens von Musil |
Thank for the reply,
Add/Remove Applications seems to just bring up packages that came with the distro and I have upgraded the kernel thru up2date so The kernel source rpm I need is not in there. Thanks for your time, eats85 |
Please anyone speak up I am very confused and any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
