Re: A apt-0.5.15cnc6 problem in Fedora Core 2

Hi, Panu:
I posted my situation in the fedora bugzilla long time ago:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=135200
Then I backed to use Fedora Core 1, so I almost forgot that... Sorry for
not responsing.
Now I am trying to install kernel 2.6.9 in Fedora Core 3, I encounterd
the same problem. It took me more than 30 minutes to install the kernel
into /tftpboot/node_root
I run the following:
apt-get -y --reinstall -o RPM::RootDir=/tftpboot/node_root/ -o
RPM::Install-Options::=--force -o RPM::Install-Options::=--nodeps -o
RPM::Install-Options::=--noscripts install kernel#2.6.9-1.681_FC3

The step I did is the same one I posted in that bugzilla id=135200.
Any idea ?

Thank you very much.
