Thanks for your help everyone. I learned that with .rpm files you have to have give a path. So in order to install kernel-dev I need to mount FC4 CD4 and then copy the kernel file to the current directory, then install: rpm -Uvh kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.i686.rpm Now all I have to do is take care of some dependencies. Thanks again everyone, -Gezim
