What have you got for a system, 9.0 pro?

When you install 'all of the kernel' (or whatever they call it where you get an additional 130+MB of stuff for the kernel, the source is placed in /usr/ src just like any other kernel source should be. You should be able to operate on it there.
I've been horribly misunderstood. I've already installed previous versins of the source. I just was looking for a gz or bz2 archive rather than an rpm. Why? man I don't know. Anyway I ended up installing the kernel-source-2.4.21-151.i586.rpm.
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. 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.
