FLAME____ Why is the kernel source not included

Yes he did, and ended his comment in an inflammatory tone - without 
investigating or being aware-of the FC3 release candidate, and the 
reported plans to exclude the source from the install discs. He set 
himself up for that response by using the word 'investigating' and being 
rude.

Sorry Paul - let me do looking and and find the test-specific mailing 
list. Sorry if I burdened anyone here for pointing out an arguable 
deficiency in a release due out in 2 weeks.

And hopefully anyone who has an problem while wanting to build custom 
kernels or module will catch this issue when they browse through the 
test 'list' and find my post about this, there... And most people wont 
need to build NIC modules, or build in SCSI or NTFS drivers, so should 
be able to get the source onto their machine form the site...

Do you sense a tad bit of sarcasm? I take the kernel very seriously - 
like I said, it *is* our constitution. Constitutions are lost if we dont 
fight to keep them intact.
