Yes. I woke up about 430 this morning and I realized that rpm can locate the file by itself. :-) However, I want to learn how to use find that Mark (mhr) mentioned!
Lanny (offlist):
Thanks - I really did mean that in a good way.
The best way to learn to use find is to play with it. I have aliases and functions that use it for many, many purposes, especially for finding things in source code files.
I strongly suggest that you take the time to wade through the man page. Find is a very powerful command, and even if the man page is poorly laid out, there is a lot you can do with it. For this purpose, what you probably would need to do is this (asoot):
find / -name "kernel*.rpm"
It may take a while, but it will absolutely find every kernel-related rpm on your system.
HTH.
