Netdump client for FC12

Hi Folks,

Do we have netdump client for Fedora 12 ?

I have downloaded a netdump-server package for the my netdump-server but can't find
netdump client for my FC12 client.

When I installed it via yum, it says

[root@x6270-b1.sys.intra sysconfig]# yum install netdump
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto, security, verify
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Setting up Install Process
No package netdump available.
Nothing to do

Anyone knows what packages is it..or is it same the netsump-server itself as a client ?

The answer is no. There is no netdump-client package any more. The last full release to have a netdump-client package was RHEL4. The server package netdump-server only exists to communicate with older clients.

You cannot grab the RHEL4 package and use it on newer systems either because the client package worked with code that was in the kernel that no longer there.

If you're looking for a crash recovery/post mortem solution for newer systems, you should use kdump. It is much more robust.
