If you really want to install this AXP package on a non-AXP machine, you should try --ignorearch. One other thing: would it be possible to export your pgp key to a public key server? Or simply don't sign your list mails. Greetings from Bremen hartmut

It's supposed to be the kernelsources. ?

The package "linux-2.4.19-3.alpha.rpm" is (my guess) the kernel image and the modules compiled for AXP.

I would imagine that the kernel souce is identical to that of the i386 platform. At least it has an "alpha"next to a "i386" (and many others) directory below /usr/src/linux/arch.

If that is correct, you could use the kernel source package "kernel-source" for both your i386 and your AXP platform based machines.

Or did i miss something. I want to export the sourcetree via NFS. As the Alpha's i have is supposed to have a very minimal instalation. The discs are to small to hold all the compilers, and sources..

The compilers are different story. You will need a AXP specific package for those of course.

Could it be you have been trying to _import_ your own key ;-)

Call the kgpg "key server dialog" and then choose the tab "export". There you choose your key that you wish to export and press button "export". That should do.

I know that the sources most often are "complete", but if i "mix" axp and x86 i cant config the other platform directly. I want the conigs to be seperate. As for the keyserver, i DID try to export the keys. Even via shell i get the same result. -- /Rikard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rikard Johnels email : rjhn@linux.nu Web : http://www.rikjoh.com Mob : +46 70 464 99 39 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >

Then for heavens sake just copy the existing kernel source tree somewhere else with 'cp -a /usr/src/linux /where/you/want/the/copy' and run 'make mrproper' in the copy. Now you have a clean copy you can easily export via nfs. What's so difficult about that?

NOTHING.. But i want to LEARN!

linux-2.4.19-3.alpha.rpm

This seems to be the binary kernel not the source. a simple rpm -qlp linux-2.4.19-3.alpha.rpm Will show you whether it's the binary kernel or the kernel source. Either way, when you have a non relocatable rpm, there is no way to put it somewhere else. IF it's really the source, I'd use either mc to view the rpm and then copy the interesting part somewhere else or use rpm2cpio to unpack the contents to where I want it. For the latter see 'man rpm2cpio'. Philipp -- Philipp Thomas work: pthomas@suse.de SuSE Linux AG private: philipp.thomas@t-link.de

create the file ~/.rpmmacros

e.g. richard@pilchard:~> cat ~/.rpmmacros %_topdir /home/richard/packages %_tmppath /tmp

In this case the packages end up in /home/richard/packages/SPECS and .../SOURCES. You of course need to create the directories: BUILD RPMS SOURCES SPECS SRPMS

Neat trick, but it won't work with the kernel source as it isn't a .src.rpm. Philipp
