it may looks like I'm on the wrong way, but ... for a lot of things I'm doing here I need to install the sources of the kernel (and some other stuff that cames drectly from the DVD ).
so, the first thing after a fresh install is the install of the kernel sources.
You are talking about the kernel-source package.
Even though this package contains the source code of the kernel, it is actually, packagemanagement-wise, a binary package and therefore included in the binary installation media.
aren't that the same as the sources people are talking about ? and if not - what are the diffs ? the same question about all the other sources you can install directly from DVD / ISO / internet - I realy can't see whats missing.
The guy who complained just doesn't get the difference between source RPMs and binary RPMs. He saw the kernel-source package, which is on the binary installation media, and concluded that Novell provides only the sources of the kernel and nothing else. This is obviously not the case, the sources of all other packages than the kernel are where the source RPMs are:
