Hello List,

I tried to install kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4.src.rpm with install-packages, it refuses to install source rpm.I use rpm command directly,it seems to process it,but installation doesn't seem to happen.I am producing the command results below.

    [root@sidharth rpm]# rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4.src.rpm
         1:kernel ########################################### [100%]
    [root@sidharth rpm]# rpm -qa|grep kernel
    kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4
    kernel-doc-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4
    kernel-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4
    [root@sidharth rpm]# rpm -Uvh kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4.src.rpm
           1:kernel ######################################## [100%]

When I look at the archive,it contains many patch files and another archive containing kernel sources. Can I just untar the kernel sources from the rpm archive into /usr/src ? Where do I send patch files ?

Thanks,
