[newbie] Where's the Kernel Source from a Source RPM

2003-12-28 Thread The Other

Hello All,

I'm endeavoring to build a low latency kernel from the 2.4.21 kernel 
source provided on my Mandrake 9.1 PowerPack CDs.   I urpmi'd the kernel 
source from a copy of the kernel source rpm I'd placed in /usr/src.

I can find the include header files.  But were did the source code go???   
What directory was it placed in???   Are all those files hidden and 'ls 
-l' won't list them???   And in what language are these source files, C 
perhaps?

As a second question, is there any way you can open up an RPM and find out 
where it will place the files???

Thanks All,
The Other.

http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/ALSA_JACK_ARDOUR.html
to learn about building low latency kernels and installing ALSA, JACK, and 
ARDOUR.
Very good material.  When I've found out where the 2.4.21 kernel source 
has gone I'll be set to build a music/MIDI box.

you know of course there are already kernels with low latency already. try the 
mercelo or tmb or MM kernels,,, save some time.
