Why can't we just let it go? This bickering is a waste. When FC3 is released, the source will be whereever the source is.

Being rude is what you have been good at with this thread. Including calling one of the most helpful persons on this list a moron. This list is for the released versions of Fedora, but from his posts I believe he is very aware of the changes and upcoming release although it is not yet ripe for inclusion in discussion here. And it is documented that the kernel sources for FC3 will be on the source disks and not in the binary distro. That does not change the fact that they are included in the distro. > > > > You mounted "FC3 CD3" (presumably one of the test releases since FC3 > > does not yet exist) > > > > For the FC3 source (which is off-topic for this list btw), you'd need > > the SRPM: > > http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/2.92/SRPMS/kern el-2.6.8-1.541.src.rpm > > > > > > Paul. > > > > Sorry Paul - let me do looking and and find the test-specific mailing > list.
