Here's a dumb question.

I have a kernel-source rpm already installed and I want to manually install the latest kernel-source rpm. (up2date -u keeps hiccuping and I want to get the 2.4.22-1.2135.nptl sources installed.)

Do I use

rpm -ivh kernel-source...

or

rpm -Uvh kernel-source...?

Thanks


For initial kernel updates, I always use -i. This retains my current one if I don't really like something and don't have to bother with a downgrade operation. I do the same with kernel-source.


Basically, do to kernel-source what ever you did on kernel. This way you won't have anything there you won't need (unless that's your plan).
