If so, and the MD5 sums are good, install with rpm -Fvh to freshen the packages. -Uvh (upgrade) will work as well, however, it will also install packages which are not already installed. By the way, you can also check the md5sum using: md5sum filename or md5sum *.rpm to check all the rpms in the directory. Another good reason to install the man pages, 'man' is your friend. man md5sum, for example. ;) > SRPMS: > kernel-2.4.9-13.src.rpm You probably don't need the above rpm installed. > athlon: > kernel-2.4.9-13.athlon.rpm > kernel-smp-2.4.9-13.athlon.rpm Unless you have a dual processor Athlon system, forget the kernel-smp package.

If you have an Athlon system, and it runs well with an Athlon optimized kernel, then I'd stick with that. If you get random kernel panics using the Athlon kernel, you can boot with the noathlon flag, and then install the i686 (or i386) package. > kernel-source-2.4.9-13.i386.rpm The above is used if you plan on compiling your own kernel. > kernel-headers-2.4.9-13.i386.rpm This should be installed. > 386/kernel-doc-2.4.9-13.i386.rpm kernel documentation, optional. > kernel-BOOT-2.4.9-13.i386.rpm This is the kernel used by the installer, you can leave it out. > In case some of their md5sum do not match can I mixed-install the RPMs > e.g. i386: > kernel-headers-2.4.9-13.i386.rpm > and athlon: > kernel-2.4.9-13.athlon.rpm > together, etc. If your running an i386, don't install the athlon kernel. You probably want: One kernel package to match your machine architecture. The kernel-headers. Possibly the kernel-doc and kernel-source packages. > What shall be SRPMS: > kernel-2.4.9-13.src.rpm > used for. This is the source.rpm used by redhat to build all the kernels. You probably don't want that, but the kernel-source.rpm instead. > >Save it to a file, and then use gpg --import [filename] should do it. > >'man gpg' for more detail. > > Sorry I have not installed 'man'. Where can find its manual ? You'll probably want to install the man pages, they come in handy. I use them many times a day.
