The rpm file has been copied to /usr/ksource on most of the machines. If it is not on your machine, log onto other machines and look for it. When you find a copy, use the "hostname -i" command to discover the IP address of that host. Then copy the rpm to your machine with the secure shell copy command such as: scp a.b.c.d:/usr/ksource /usr/ksource Where "a.b.c.d" is the host IP indicated by the "hostname -i" command. b. Check to see if the package is already installed with the command: rpm -q kernel-source c. If the package is installed, uninstall it with: rpm -e kernel-source d. Verify that the package is un-installed using step (b). e. Install the package with: rpm -i /usr/ksource/k*.rpm (or the file location) f. Verify that the package is installed using step (b).
