description: Hi, I suppose that it is some dummy package inside VPS which provides kernel capability. Try to rpm -q --whatprovides kernel inside VPS. And try to remove that package.

description: hi sorry for the delay, have only just got back to being able to look at this. When execute that command i get this # rpm -q --whatprovides kernel dummy-fedora-core-4-1.0-4.swsoft i then try rpm -e dummy-fedora-core-4-1.0-4.swsoft to which i get these errors. error: Failed dependencies: ethtool >= 1.8-2 is needed by (installed) initscripts-8.54.1-1.i386 mingetty is needed by (installed) initscripts-8.54.1-1.i386 module-init-tools is needed by (installed) initscripts-8.54.1-1.i386 I installed the fedora template from the community created section so i guesss it is a problem with this. On the plus side i downloaded the source imagemagick and forced the install and we can now use the functions we wanted. Would be nice to know how to get round this in future though

description: Try to tune your VE's uname -r with /proc/sys/kernel/virt_osrelease file. Maybe the installer just checks this one.

description: Hi, Before give you any piece of advice I'll try to explain my point of view. The issue is in the following: We have a dummy package which provides some kinds of capabilities. To observe them please use rpm command: rpm -q --provides PACK_NAME (in your case PACK_NAME=dummy-fedora-core-4-1.0-4.swsoft). As you can see this package is a fake package (it might provide capability but mightn't contain the corresponding utility). I only know two reasons why it was made: a) Some packages need the capability for example Quote: module-init-tools is needed by (installed) initscripts-8.54.1-1.i386 but actually we cannot load modules from inside VE. And we have to provide this or may be some else capability. b) We don't want to increase VE's weight so we don't add some unnecessary utilities. In your case you could look at rpm -q --provides PACK_NAME output and install inside VE appropriate packages, for example in your case, kernel,module-init-tools, ethtool, mingetty etc (the common Fedora-4 packages) and then remove dummy package from inside the VE. I suppose that everything should work and you'll be able to install appropriate software.
