Er, yeah, actually!

It's in /usr/src/linux-2.4.19.SuSE. Did you install the complete linux-source package?

Quite apparently, I did not (what good is the thing without the kernel source?? How am I supposed to recompile a kernel??) Now, the only problem is where the $*%&^ is it?? I ran Yast2 and it tells me that a default kernel was installed but I can only find the kernel image in /boot, no sources. Arrgh!

Tony,

Do you have the personal version or the pro version. I don't think the sources came with the personal version.

Well, we have a winner, folks. Time to go back and buy the BIG box of cereal with the REAL toys inside. Thanks! -- Tony Alfrey tonyalfrey@earthlink.net "I'd rather be sailing"

Alright, this is crazy. On the CDs, I can only find what appear to be compiled kernel images and modules. For example, I have what is called k_deflt-2.4.19-74.i586.rpm which kpackage tells me has only binaries and no sources. This sounds so dumb but if someone has the SuSE 8.1 CDs, can they tell me where I can find the kernel sources and what it's called??

The kernel source is in a package called, er, kernel-source. Go into the YaST package management and do a search for it. It's not installed by default because it's enormous and most people don't compile their own kernels. --
