Hi,
My name is Satish Boddapati.
I have installed RedHat 9 in my system.
Can you please hint me where can I find the source software with the folder name linux 2.4 etc.., it is not visible in the /usr/src directory.
It is showing only two folders namely redhat and debug, but, without any kernel (linux 2.4) folder.
I have tried with rpm facility and it is giving it is already installed.
(using kernel-2.4.20-6.i686.rpm) if I use with -ivf option. and when I tried to check the location of the kernel with -qd option it is giving as it is not installed.
Please guide me to locate my linux 2.4 folder or if I have to load any other software. My Linux software is of 2 CD's(RedHat 9)
Thanks & regards
Satish

it will be an rpm with source or src in the name with the kernel version

The kernel version folder does not exist in the source or src folder under /usr. can you suggest me where else can I find or should I load any other software

it meant it's on the cdrom under that name.

Well, maybe you should see the rpm management tree again. According to what is seen in your /usr/src the kernel source is not installed. Thus, you should install the kernel_src package if you want to see the kernel source code. Should you don't have it on your installation CDs you may donwload it from www.kernel.org.

To summarize this:

1- Install kernel_src package

or

2- download the source from kernel.org
