mohammed,

if you just need the kernel source code, you could visit 
kernel.org, as far as installing RH8, you should check out 
redhat.com under download -> mirrors.  have fun.

You can get full source to not only the entire kernel, but also every
package that's part of the standard 8.0 release.  If you downloaded the
ISOs, you probably got 3 full of binaries, and then there would have
been 2 ISO of sources.  You can also get from Red Hat's FTP site or any
one of their mirrors (see http://www.redhat.com/mirrors.html).  When you
set up your 8.0 system, pay special attention to setting up up2date.
This will give you easy access to all the security updates for your
release, plus give you easy access to the sources.

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.)

The source code for the kernel should be either installed (check
/usr/src/linux) or available as an additional (large) package that you can
install from your install media.  IIRC, it goes by something like
kernel-source-.rpm, i.e.
kernel-source-2.4.17-i686.rpm.  It's been a while since I've dinked w/ this
specifically, so hopefully it's somewhat close.  This version of the kernel
is the one that RedHat uses, which may be slightly different than the plain
'vanilla' one you would find at www.kernel.org, which is where the main hub
of Linux kernel development resides.

HTH,

Monte

Of course you can get the source code.  That's what openSource is all
about.

How did you get your copy of RH 8?  You should have 6 CDs.  3+ of which
have rpms of all of the source.

Dear all,
I'm on my way to install redhat 8.0 for resarch purposes. My point is would
I be able to get access to the source code of the kernel or even some parts
of it (which ones?) , in order to modify the source ?
If not, then where could I get the source code of the kernel, then?
Thanks in advance
Moh Awad.
