accessing source code of Red hat linux

rmmurugan · 05-21-2006, 10:36 PM

What I should do to access and edit the source code in
Red Hat Linux 9 and Susee 10.
I have used 3 cds and 5cds to install RHL9 and Susee 10 respectively.
Can any one help me.
My thanks in advance.

I do not understand why you think you need access to the source code....

If you convert the Linux partition(s) to FAT32 you will lose RHL9 as an OS, if this is your desire then OK. Windows XP is prefectly capable of reformatting the partition to FAT32 or NTFS if desired. You will have to repair/restore the Windows bootloader, using google to search for fixmbr and fixboot;

Many have used a Windows 98 or better boot floppy and 'fdisk /mbr' also.

The source code is available for any component that is--in fact--open source. I believe RedHat might have some proprietary things.

Whatever is not found at the RedHat site would be available at the sites of the components. eg linux.kernel.org for the kernel. Many of the components are hosted at Sourceforge.

If we know more about your end goal, there might be more help
