i just installed mandrake 9.2 but when i went to configure my kernel /usr/src/linux wasn't there and so i thought that maby the source was not installed so i checked what packages i had installed though the mandrake package installere and installed all kernel stuff to make sure but it is still not there

is there a /usr/src/linux-(version)
or is there anything there?

you didn't install the kernel headers, or mandrake decided to install them somewhere else, which i never heard of, most likely it's either not installed or not linked to linux folder...

it may not be on the main drake cd, it may an additional disk...

all i have on /usr/src is /usr/src/php-devel /usr/src/RMPS

ill check the cd for kernel packages

The rpm you want to look for is probably called kernel-source-2.4.22-10mkd.i586.rpm. That is probably the version of kernel that you have installed. You can type in the command uname -r to make sure. I think it should be on the second disk. If you installed from a cover disk, such as Linux Format magazine, then this file may not be present. In that case you will need to download it from an ftp site, such as ftp://sluglug.ucsc.edu/pub/Mandrake/9.2.

Good Luck.

yeah, I heard mandrake made a mistake with not including the kernel source in the first releases of 9.2, I have it and I downloaded like beginning of decemer-ish.
