Which distribution? For Fedora Core 2, you could install kernel-sourcecode-2.6.8-1.521.noarch.rpm from the updates area, which you could get using yum. But what I really recommend (and this will be the default on FC3) is to get the kernel-2.6.8-1.521.src.rpm *source* RPM, and modify that to have the changes you need -- if you need changes to the main kernel. If it's an external module you want to build, you shouldn't need the full source at all -- the required headers are at "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build" in the kernel package itself. Of course, it's also very possible that the modules you want/need are already there.... -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
