There doesn't seem to be any dependancy for it. AFAIK it's not necessary for operation, anyway, it's only necessary if something has to be compiled as it contains all the c header files. Your current state is now not very clear. Please provide the following information: rpm -qa kernel* ls -l /boot ls -l /boot/grub cat /boot/grub/grub.conf Besides that I suggest you get a good book on using Linux on the console. If "Using Linux" by Que is still getting published I suggest that. They provide a wealth about Linux and the shell and you can use them for years. I have some rather oldish ones that still provide good value. You have now three Linux boxes or so if I got it right. You cannot do everything just "by desktop", you are a "Linux shop" now and you *have* to start learning about all the nice console tools sooner or later, better sooner ;-) Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com
