Anyway, thanks for any info. > J- When yiou boot the USB spin, what does uname -r tell you? Or, more precisely, rpm -q kernel will tell you which version of the kernel it is running. Once you know the kernel version, use another networked machine to download the kernel-devel for that same version your usb spin boots into. At any rate, you might have to go the rpmfusion to find the kernel-devel for your kernel.
