No! > > I hope this makes sense? You need the kernel-source package. The easiest thing to do is do rpm --rebuild --target i386-redhat-linux --without boot \ path/to/your/kernel-2.4/src.rpm You might have to play with the --with/without options to get it so that it just builds the kernel-source rpm. Otherwise you get a bunch of kernel rpms you do not want and waste a lot of time. HTH, Tom rhel-rebuild mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hosted at the University of Innsbruck, Austria
