"The file xxxxxx is a source RPM which cannot be installed with
system-config-packages."

I finally figured out how to get the kernel sources installed, but I'm just wondering why
it won't install other sources to. This is mostly just a curiosity thing now, because I can
always download tar files of sources. I got another thing real quick...sorry, but I got a couple
programs that when I try to start them, they don't load. The "Starting xxx" comes on the bar, but
it never loads. Is that an FC issue or the program issue. I will say, the first few times, the program
did load w/o a problem, now it won't (I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program). Thanks for the help.
