The URLs for the release and update srpms are: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/source/SRPMS/ http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/8/SRPMS/ Of course, it's often easier to use yumdownloader from the yum-utils package to download a srpm. There is a --source option in yumdownloader that should get you the latest srpm of a given package. > The howtoforge.com site only makes reference to the FC5 and FC6 kernel > srpms.

The Fedora release notes have a section on the kernel and they point you to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/CustomKernel for info on how to build a custom kernel. This includes how to download the kernel srpm and expand it into a full source tree that you can poke around in. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nothing says, "Obey me!" like a bloody head on a fence post. -- Stewie Griffin
