kernel-source-2.6.3-9mdk.i586.rpm is the source code to build the kernel. You would only need this if you needed to compile your own kernel modules/drivers. For example if you have an Nvidia graphics card and you want to use the Nvidia supplied 'nvidia' driver instead of the default opensource 'nv' driver, you would need to install the kernel-source so the nvidia-installer application could compile a new nvidia driver derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
