That doesn't make any sense. yum-arch makes the headers dir in whatever path you give it on the commandline. So if you tell yum-arch '/my/path' then it will make a '/my/path/headers' directory. > > Just some other questions: > > 1) in yum-1.97-1.noarch.rpm I found that yum is > not enabled after the rpm is installed.

Some folks complained that it was enabled and updating by default, they thought that was more surprising. I agreed and just commented it out so that someone wanting to rebuild it for themselves and wanted it on by default could do so. > 2) How to use yum to remove an old installed kernel ? I used > yum remove kernel-xxxxxxx but this doesn't work yah. at the moment you don't. This is a point of irritation for me and problem I intend to fix in the not-so-distant future. For the moment use rpm -e kernel-version-release -sv
