Re: tar file containing linux complete sourc

[Siddharth Mathur <mat_sid@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi rangeeela,

going to a website isnt really reqd for a few
kernels..
for ex, the chip redhat 6.0 CD has the kernel -source
in the form of an RPM. just installing it will put the
bzipped kernel and some docs on your machine.

the kernel will be installed in
/usr/source/Redhat/SOURCES if i remember correctly.
the extension for the kernel source file wll be bz2.
so u should also have bzip installed to uncompress it.
(it is again on the chip cd as an RPM :-)
