Fred,
I got the original files and i have been trying to install them. The result
is that it was ok with the source code, but i got kind of problems with the
headers one.
If i try to install the result is the following:
**
Package kernel -headers -2.0.36-3 is already installed
error: kernel -headers -2.0.36.3-i386.rpm cannot be installed
**
I also tried with the option --oldpackage but the result was the same.
Please can anyone give a hand,
Thanks in advance,
Regards.
JoLa,
