I just installed Mandrake 9.2 (Download Edition) and I am looking for the kernel sources but cannot find them. There is no /usr/src/linux directory and using RPMDrake I cannot find anything resembling <bla>kernel<bla>source<bla> which could be found in MDK 9.0. I only can find packages like kernel2.4-marcelo-2.4.22-1mdk which has a size of about 14 MB, but there seems to be no sources included. I'm sure that there are the kernel sources somewhere ... mmmh ... Can anyone help me solve this trivial problem ?

Thanks in advance

No, you are not blind some how the kernel-source was not included in any of the download edition cds.

You can get the source, for your currently running kernel, just open up a console and type:

urpmi kernel-source

I don't know about marcelo but there' one 2.4.22 kernel source:
ftp://sunsite.uio.no/linux/Mandrake/...10mdk.i586.rpm

Thanks folks,
I downloaded the sources and installed them.

BTW I find that it's strange for a linux distro package to have no kernel sources inlcuded. Not so funny for 56K-surfers-and-therefore-liniso-customer to have to download 40MB .
