I just created a bugzilla report for an ftp problem I'm having (ref

thought I'd take a look at the source code to see if I can figure out a
solution.
But.... my first problem is.... how do I get the source code? I don't
want to d/l the entire collections of source CDs just I can one pogram
that's a few hundred K Bytes. :-)
[]# yum install yum-utils
[]$ yumdownloader --enablerepo=core-source --source ftp
You can also browse the fedora downloads from the links in the FC Release
Notes, which is what I used to do.
That's cool... I just d/l the .rpm file.... now I'm trying to see how I
can just extract the individual files into a folder, without actually
installing it (again)
installing a src rpm is not the same as installing a 'normal' one.
rpm -ivh ftp-...src.rpm
will extract the files into
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS
but if you are planning on playing with and rebuilding the RPM to test
it, you should do this as a non-privileged user, *not* root.

Thanks.... I will check that out... :-)
