It's your call, you could do a reinstall which might be easier now
that you know how to do it and have the correct boot disk, etc. and
select all packages (if you have the disk space).
Or, you could try to figure out which RPMS you need - shouldn't be too
bad. I can't tell which one it's missing from the error message below.
Here's a list of RPMS that you probably need to compile a kernel off
the top of my head, but I'm probably missing some and may have a few
you don't need. You could repeated the process below and rpm -Uvh
those rpms as a first try. If you can't figure out all the RPMS, just
reinstall or just type: rpm -Uvh *.rpm - I don't think that will mess
up your system (it will complain a lot about rpms already being
installed). The worst that could happen is that you'd have to
reinstall anyway :-)
