So maybe you could try that name prefix too.... a hint: since you use openSuse, try to use zypper "search" facility, so that you could reduce mistakes > On that note, I wonder what is the difference between kernel-base, > kernel-default, kernel-devel, and similar other RPMs. most of the times, anything named with "kernel" and "devel" usually means a package that contains the kernel headers file and others needed to compile a kernel module or anything related to kernel stuff. it's a stripped down version of full blown kernel source. kernel base? kernel default? no clear hint there... -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
