Kernel-sources rpm

    I'm trying to install the kernel-sources rpm (kernel-source-2.4.18-3.i386.rpm) and it is crapping out with the following:

    rpm -Uvh kernel-source-2.4.18-3.i386.rpm
    installing package kernel-source-2.4.18-3 needs 11Mb on the /usr filesystem

    a df -h shows:
    /dev/hda3 980M 811M 120M 88% /usr

    Is there anotehr option I need to use with rpm to get it to install?

    the kernel sources are about 28 megs arent they? And they're just text which compresses well, perhaps it means 11mb more? Not 11mb total.

    I would just get the sources from a tarball, then you can unpack and compile them anywhere you have room.

    Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. I don't like errors like the above appearing though...

    You only have 120mb left and the kernel source usually extract to about 130mb on the filesystem. PLus you'll need more space for the intermediary files created during compilation. Clean up what you can on that drive and if need be create a linux directory somewhere else that has loads of space and just do a
    ln -s /path_to_new_directory/linux linux
    in the /usr/src directory.
