[CLUG] Kernel sources

[Marcus Viertel]

Donncha,

it complained about being unable to create the /usr/scr/SOURCES directory.
When I created the dir manually, it executed from the cli without any
problem. Why would it be unable to create the dir?

Cheers,

Marcus

What error message appears when you try and install it by hand?

rpm -Uvh kernel<whatever>.rpm

Donncha.
