On installing more than one RPM at the same time, and avoiding trouble with the kernel, too. Install with this command the hard way: rpm -i pkg pkg Install with this command the easy way: rpm -ivh kqemu*.rpm Some of the RPM's have rediculously long names. That's why I called the first way the hard way. RPM can install both at the same time. If it complains about the kernel, there was a bug that shipped with Fedora Core 6, where the kernel is a i586 and the modules are i686. Updates can be annoying with that, but there is a fix by installing the right cpu type kernel. yum install kernel-(version).i686 Adding the .686 on the end will install the right one.
