| 217067 | 2004-02-23 00:55:00 | What happens if you search for "source"? Ive never used Mandrake for longer than 5 minutes, so Im just trying suggestions here. In Redhat all you need to do is click "Kernel Source Packages" ;-) Chill. |

You can download the RPM from any of the mandrake mirrors. eg planetmirror (ftp://public.planetmirror.com.au/pub/mandrake/9.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/). The file is called: kernel-source-2.4.22-10mdk.i586.rpm and is around 40mb. |

| 217069 | 2004-02-23 03:24:00 | The mandrake package manager should find the sources on its CDs. The file will probably be in the "development" group. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 217070 | 2004-02-23 03:45:00 | Just so James Busby doesn't think he is going mad, apparently the downloaded version of 9.2 did not include the kernel source all all - they ran out of room on the 3rd CD so they were omitted. You can read more here (archives.mandrakelinux.com). A google for missing kernel sources for Mandrake 9.2 CD's also will throw up a lot of links. |

I noticed that there is a kernel version 2.6.3 @ http://www.kernel.org. Is that one the lastest or just another kernel for another distribution of linux? |

| 217076 | 2004-02-23 06:57:00 | You need the kernel source which matches your current running kernel . The link that bmason gave you is for a Mandrake packaged RPM of the source for the 2 . 4 . 22-10 version . This should match your current kernel and you can check this by opening a Console Window and entering in uname -r . The 2 . 6 . 3 kernel on kernel . org is the latest kernel source available . It can be used on any distribution of Linux to compile a kernel with from scratch . Just download and install the specific Mandrake RPM from that link . |
