OK, I've struggled with this for a couple of hours while trying to coordinate the Linux Kernel howto, several READMEs, etc. I have previously compiled kernels from the .src.rpm, and I remember it being surprisingly easy, if you just want to compile all 5 or so sets of kernel binaries.
I downloaded kernel-2.4.21.0.18mdk-1-1mdk.src.rpm from sec.sup.org and tried to install the source with rpm -ivh. It seems to dump several files into /usr/src/RPMS/SOURCES: linux.2.4.20.tar.bz2 linux.2.4.21-pre4q18.tar.bz2 linux-mdkconfig.h linux-merge-config.awk linux-merge-modules.awk patch-2.4.21-pre4.bz2 README.kernel-sources README.Mandrake None of this matches any of the howtos I have seen. Any suggestions? Oh, I avoid urpmi like the plague ... it really is NOT good for an expensive dial-up connection, which is why I wanted to download the source RPM and build the various kernels.
