Hi everyone,

I'm a complete noob when it comes to linux but I'm determined to learn
the ins and outs no matter what. I've tried searching the forums
regarding my issue with little or no success and was hoping that
someone could spare a minute to help me please.

I've installed the 2.6.2-1.85 kernel rpm on my fedora install with
reasonable success. I would like to recompile the kernel but according
to the following guide
(http://fullo.altervista.org/phpwiki/...edoraKernel2.6) I
should have a /usr/src/linux-2.6* directory. I only have a linux-2.4
directory there.

I did an rpm -qa |grep kernel and the rpm source file
(kernel-2.6.2-1.85.src.rpm) I installed doesn't appear to be listed
although I did install it.

Can anyone offer some suggestions please?

Thanks so much!

You want the kernel-source-2.6.2-1.85.i386.rpm package, download and
install it from the same place you got the kernel-2.6.2-1.85.XXXX.rpm
from. The kernel-2.6.2-1.85.src.rpm is a binary package that one can use
to create the various kernel-2.6.2-1.85.iX86.rpm's with, it's not the
source code.
