RPM's versus SRPM's 

Forum: PCMCIA Installation and Configuration Issues
Re: Question: Kernel source tree from RPMs (Peter Townsend)
Date: 1999, Nov 29
From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

You want to install the kernel-source RPM, not Red Hat's SRPM for the kernel. That's somewhat nonintuitive... the kernel-source RPM puts the plain kernel source tree in /usr/src/linux, but an SRPM is a special thing just for creating RPM's, and it puts the kernel source tree (plus various other things) in unusual places. -- Dave
