i'm sorry if this is a really dim question, but in what sense is the kernel
source not available? i have the kernel-source package installed, and it's
stuck about a quarter of a gig of files under /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358.
they look a lot like the source of such kernels as i've built recently.
am i completely missing some important point? is this not the kernel source?
No, AFAIK you're missing nothing. The kernel source is provided, and he's
just having a big rant about nothing.
Dim questions are usually the ones that are worth asking...
