Hi
I dowloaded and installed kernel-sourcecode-2.6.8.1-521
I went to /usr/src/linux/2.6.8.1-521 and did not find the
usual directories, (BUILD, SPEC, etc.) I found rather the sourcecode.
Does it mean that I have to download kernel-2.6.8.1-521.src.rpm ?
What is the difference between the kernel-sourcecode packages and the
*.src.rpm packages?
If I want to recompile the kernel (I might have to do it to solve a ACPI
DSDT problem with a laptop), what should I used, kernel-sourcecode or
kernel src.rpm?
