Once upon a time, Ken Johanson <fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> said: <a lot of stoopid stuff> You keep claiming you have to download hundreds of megabytes of SRPMS to get the kernel, which is wrong. You only need to download the specific SRPM you want. Then you complained it is hard to find (which is frankly even stoopider; if you can't match a version you probably don't have any use for the source). Anyway, to help you find the kernel matching the running kernel, since this is such a difficult task for you, try this script. ************************************************************************ #!/bin/bash # set this to your favorite mirror top-level Fedora Core directory base=ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core pkg=kernel ver=`uname -r` if [ "$ver" != "${ver%smp}" ]; then pkg=kernel-smp ver="${ver%smp}" fi srpm=`rpm -q --qf '%{SOURCERPM}' $pkg-$ver` fver=`rpm -q --qf '%{VERSION}' fedora-release` urls="$fver updates/$fver updates/testing/$fver development" gotit=0 for url in $urls; do echo "Checking $base/$url/SRPMS/$srpm" wget "$base/$url/SRPMS/$srpm" if [ $? = 0 ]; then gotit=1 break fi echo done if [ $gotit = 0 ]; then echo "Couldn't find matching kernel source" 1>&2 exit 1 fi echo "Kernel source for running kernel is in $srpm" ************************************************************************ -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
