Instead of doing the install from the GUI. Try this: Open a terminal window and type rpm -ivh <package> where <package> is the full name of the kernel source rpm You should then be able to see more details about the error. Most likely you are missing a dependancy such as GCC.

I have a fresh install of Fedora 2.4.22 I need to install the kernel sources for 2.4.22. Unfortunately, I was unable install the kernel sources. I checked the /usr/src/redhat and there were some empty directories in it and figured I did not have the source. I have the three disks and the MD5 checksums matched the Red Hat web site. I went to System Settings -> Add/Remove Applications I scrolled down to Development and checked Kernel Development. I then put in disk three when I was prompted. I got a an error: "Error installing packages - there was an error installing packages - quitting" Sorry, that's all I know about the error. What could this be? I am on a Dell laptop with the workstation setup on a 6 GB drive 128K. Any suggestions would be appreciated. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
