I have to admit that even though I have worked with Linux a little over the years, I'm just a newbie with many things... But I have to ask, why so many dependent rpms are missing from the fedora distro Cds. I wanted to use gcc, so I start trying to install and like other things requiring dependent libs, gcc requires, in this instance, kernel-headers which is not on the CDs. Can someone tell me why? Alan
The distro is not 'incomplete' but your install was I suspect. You did install all the 'development' stuffs? If not, then you should do so before squawking about missing stuff that you may have left out on purpose, or through not understanding the ramifications of leaving it out. Either way its not the distros fault.
