Re: [mpls-linux-general] Problem with the rpm files

[James R. L. <jl...@mi...>]

You are allowed to have more then one kernel installed so using
the 'i' option to 'rpm' is OK.  With iproute, iptables, kernel-header
you can only have one version installed, so you have to use teh 'U' option
instead of the 'i' option to 'rpm':

    rpm -Uvh iptables-1.3.8-7.fc8.mpls.1.961.i386.rpm --oldpackage
