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.

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.
