I would have done rpm -e vendor_kernel.rpm then build by own kernel from the tar source modify my lilo use mk_initrd (if necessary) then reboot. Then you break all rpm's dependencies! No, this is not true. I never had SuSE kernels and never had problems with kernel tar balls or other RPMS. Kernel is the only thing I compile myself without RPM, though. Other packages really ruin your system. Some packages require packages like "kernel >= 2.2.0", but these are rare and you can still force installation, because you know which kernel is installed.
But I think we should kill this thread now. bye Markus -- _____________________________ /"\ Markus Gaugusch ICQ 11374583 \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign markus@gaugusch.dhs.org X Against HTML Mail / \
