Hi Michael,
Not Michael, but will through in my $0.02 anyway... ;^)
Thank you. You rightly guessed the source as fedora2. I presumed as Synaptic/apt handle all dependencies, it would 'intelligently' handle these inner requirements of a package.
Not across major OS rev levels, particularly with different kernel series and glibc.
I downloaded k3b fedora1 version from http://download.fedora.us , also put it on synaptic sources.list. Now k3b is working great.
I am thinking I can upgrade FC1 in parts I want most from latest in FC2. By the example, it looks not possible.
Not recommended without rebuilding from source.
Now I have downloaded FC2 kernel source-2.4.22-1.2194.
Thats an FC1 kernel and not the latest.
I wanted to build it part for fun, partly because my existing kernel source is somewhere a bit broken.(2.4.22-1.2115.nptl).
Might want to try a later pre-built one for FC1, or later sources, say from
http://atrpms.net/dist/fc1/kernel/
My system is working fine. Do you think I can safely go ahead ?
Depends on what other FC2 packages you may have loaded on FC1. If you really want 2.6 kernels/packages just jump into FC2.
