No, it appears I do not but I still have the RPM in this computer and 
can transfer it to the box I'm working on.

Incidentally, I save all the yum rpm's for later use as needed on 
computers not connected to the internet.  Last night I ran Yumex update 
and when it finished it cleaned out ALL my yum rpms!  I was still 
cursing whomever did that when I got up this morning.  I suspect the 
preferences were changed in an update? 

I will add kernel-devel. 

Thank  you for the help.
