another problem with the car, i think maybe alternator?

well the car has been running fine for a few weeks after i replaced the radiator, but then yesterday after work i went to leave and the car wouldnt start, so i looked around to see if i had left anything electrical on that would drain the battery but nothing was on. so i went and asked a guy for a jump. hooked it up and the car wouldnt start. so after this failing we had to roll start it. ok so this has only happedend once so far, but i havent tried cranking it since yesterday, does this seem like an alternator problem if so what will it take/how hard is it for me to replace it myself?

thanks

if it was the alt it wouldn't jump start.

sounds like the battery is fried. get it checked out, free @ autozone i believe.
