The kernel RPMs issues are a little confusing, I think. Because the ordinary kernel RPM that follows most Linux distributions is in fact the kernel source code, and not only a binary kernel code. This is so because it is customary for many Linux users to recompile the kernel (or compile some modules) in order to fine tune the kernel code for the specific hardware. The kernel source RPM is something else, and very few people play around with the kernel source RPM. In fact, I cannot think of anything you can use the kernel source RPM except in order to make a new kernel RPM be it kernel source RPM or ordinary kernel RPM. So do not use the kernel source RPM. (What I would like is a howto for using other source RPM. I get confused by all the files included.) -- Jon Haugsand, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.norges-bank.no -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
