Wrong kernel source package 

Forum: PCMCIA Installation and Configuration Issues
Re: Question: Adaptec 1480 SCSI not quite working, other PCMCIA does (S. Allen)

Red Hat has a kernel SRPM file (kernel-2.2.14-5.0.src.rpm) that will
install stuff in a subdirectory of /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES, but this
is not what you want.  The SRPM files are used if you want to create a
kernel RPM for distribution, which is not what you want to do.  The
kernel source is all in there, but it is in an odd place and you would
need to do additional steps to get it extracted in a useful form.

There are also kernel sources in a regular RPM that installs them in
/usr/src/linux.  This RPM is kernel-source-2.2.14-5.0.i386.rpm and is
the one you want.

Message Administration

This form allows you to delete, move, or copy one or more messages. You can move messages by copying and deleting the original. The action will be applied to the messages you select above and all replies to those selected messages.

If you want to copy or move messages, specify the HyperNews path of a destination forum or message that all messages will be copied or moved to. The destination must already exist, so maybe create it first.

Path of Destination (a Forum or Message): (e.g. "test")

Notify Subscribers at destination
NO

If you want to delete messages (the default), specify that here. If you want to move messages, you need to delete the original messages; placeholders will be left pointing to where they were moved.

Delete Messages
NO

Caution: After deleteing messages (the default), if you have not copied them (i.e. no destination above), then the selected messages are not be recoverable.
