installing RH7.3 kernel src?
could someone pls tell me how to install the kernel sources from the RH7.3 SRPM's? %$)* instructions from redhat were completely wrong....telling ppl to "install kernel-source rpm from disc 1." i'm at my wits end...never dealt w/ %*# rpm's before...i've always just ignored them and installed stuff from tgz files.
first i tried the kpackage utility and it just crashed. then i tried
rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/SRPMS/kernel-2.4.18.src.rpm but it doesn't seem to do anything. i still don't see any files in /usr/src...
just a bunch of .patch files in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
also when i try the same command on the pcmcia-cs source package it just leaves a tgz file in the /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES dir.
i'm trying to extract this stuff so i can build wlan-ng and it's driving me NUTS!!! pls help! i can't believe that i know how to compile & build everything but can't figure out how to get the damn src code into my system!!!
