I'm now in the middle of downloading the latest kernel sources, all 212MB of them.

The original (-99) and patch (-144) versions on my SuSE 9.0 system are only about 41MB each.

I have 9.0 personal, which doesn't include the kernel sources. So I downloaded the rpm package from the 9.0 section at the SuSE ftp site and here's what resulted afterwards: pwa@suillus:~/notes> rpm -qi kernel-source Name : kernel-source Relocations: /usr/src Version : 2.4.21 Vendor: SuSE Linux AG, Nuernberg, Germany Release : 144 Build Date: Thu 13 Nov 2003 06:09:21 PM EST Install date: Fri 02 Jan 2004 11:14:37 AM EST Build Host: Hurwitz.suse.de Group : Development/Sources Source RPM: kernel-source-2.4.21-144.src.rpm Size : 222301484 License: GPL Signature : DSA/SHA1, Thu 13 Nov 2003 06:30:32 PM EST, Key ID a84edae89c800aca Packager : http://www.suse.de/feedback Summary : The Linux kernel sources Description : Linux Kernel sources with many fixes and improvements.
