I don't get it. src.rpm files are not installed, they are _extracted_ and not entered into the RPM database. They contain source code packages and scripts that are used to build binary rpm packages (e.g. .i386.rpm). By default, a src.rpm is extracted into two directories below /usr/src/redhat. The "kernel-2.4.20-19.9.src.rpm" is the source rpm that builds the various "kernel-*" binary packages, including the "kernel-source-2.4.20-19.9.i386.rpm". The kernel-source-2.4.20-19.9.i386.rpm is the package you want to install if you need the kernel source code in /usr/src/linux-2.4. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE++t9v0iMVcrivHFQRAqaVAJ0f/ckVlCItpL/EoVtjCOKLZlNkYACffJru yYV78IPUaj67HUOeQ6cVCQk= =NmPE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
