kernel source


really quick question I recently installled the 2.6 kernel and source....after the fact I decided that I still want to use the 2.4 kernel, but when I installed the 2.6 kernel source I installed it with an rpm -Uvh rather then an -ivh so my source for 2.4 is now gone...so I downloaded it and tried to install it again with a rpm -ivh rpmname.rpm and it doesnt seem to give me any errors, but when I go to /usr/src I dont see it in there.

any suggestions,
Jeremy
