Well after an interesting but fruitless search of ls-Ral.txt it appears that there are gz archives of many of the older kernels (2.2, 2.3) but as far as I could tell the newest kernel sources are only available as srpms unless someone has another suggestion.
... did you get this via YOU? it offers the option to get the kernel sources, which should be the default behaviour
I considered correcting myself right after posting but decided to wait. What I meant to say is that all I could find were kernel-source.rpm and srpm's. What I was looking for was gz or bz2 archives of the kernel source like those provided by mantel.
I got in the habit of d'loading mantels kernels when I first started compiling my own kernels, but I now run the win4lin patches and those only support officially released (distribution wise) kernels.
So as it stands it appears to me that SuSE's official and (reasonably) current kernels (source files) are only available as rpms and srpms.
Thanks for the reply
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. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
