unpackaging Kernel source code on Redhat ES4


Hi

Is there any easy way to execute a src RPM kernel file?

I am trying to extract the kernel source but I get the error "This is a
source RPM which cannot be installed with system-config-packages". This is when I double click on the package using GNOME GUI.

When I run rpm -Uvh kernal-2.6.9-5.EL.src.rpm. I get this error.

[root@localhost tmp]# rpm -Uvh kernel-2.6.9-5.EL.src.rpm
warning: kernel-2.6.9-5.EL.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e
error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

Any ideas...

I'm running to run ndiswrapper and it needs kernel source before I can do anything. So I downloaded the src but not sure how to install it.

Matt
