I am a newbie and do not know as much in detail abt packages. However, I noticed something strange while installing gcc. I started with bare minimum 'no-base' install with a kickstart file, so I didn't have gcc in it. Later, when I installed gcc the 'kernel-headers' packages was marked to be updated to 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 for dependency issues. Here is a summary: ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: gcc i386 4.1.2-44.el5 base 5.2 M Updating: glibc i686 2.5-34 base 5.2 M glibc-common i386 2.5-34 base 16 M libgcc i386 4.1.2-44.el5 base 94 k Installing for dependencies: binutils i386 2.17.50.0.6-9.el5 base 2.9 M cpp i386 4.1.2-44.el5 base 2.7 M glibc-devel i386 2.5-34 base 2.0 M glibc-headers i386 2.5-34 base 598 k kernel-headers i386 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 updates 917 k libgomp i386 4.3.2-7.el5 base 67 k However, the kernel is 2.6.18-92.el5. The mismatch in kernel and kernel-headers is confusing me. Any insights? Thanks, CS.
