Where can I find kernel-devel package

Postby canmasagi » Jun 10th, '11, 09:14

Hi, my name is Can Masagi and I am a Fedora user... I am interested on Mageia and want to try it on VirtualBox 4.0.8. When I want to install VirtualBox Guest Addition, It needs Mageia to have kernel-devel and kernel-headers package. So.. where can I find kernel-devel-dekstop in order to have Mageia to install VirtualBox Guest Additions? Since I could not find it in Mageia's Software Management

Is there any command similar to yum, apt-get, or zyper to install package via Mageia Repository? So I can easily install softeare package using terminal. And Where is Mageia Repository located?

Thank you very much.

To install the devel kernel

Code: Select all
urpmi kernel-desktop-devel-latest

The repositories:
http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id= ... positories

The mirrors:
http://mirrors.mageia.org/

Mageia documentation is a work in process, but the Mandriva instructions give the general idea of how to use the package management tools:
