One question, whats the diference between a kernel-source-2.4.*.rpm and a kernel-source-2.4.*.src.rpm (rpm vs src.rpm)
The .rpm would (I assume) contain the compiled kernel which would be placed in /boot.
I thought it was the k_deflt.rpm, k_athlon.rpm etc that contained the kernel that was installed in /boot, from viewing kernel-source-2.4.*.rpm i saw no indication of files being installed in /boot
The src.rpm would contain the sources for the kernel and would be placed in / usr/src.
I only use vanilla kernels from www.kernel.org so I'm not all sure about the above but that's the way it should be.
I'm only about 9 megs from having the kernel-source-2.4.21-151.i586.src.rpm d'loaded and I installed kernel-source-2.4.21-151.i586.rpm this morning so I guess I'll compare the 2 archives in a few minutes. BTW since you mentioned that you compile your own vanilla kernel, do you have any tips about switching from the susified version to the vanilla version?
