Hello List,

I tried to install kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4.src.rpm with install-packages,  
it refuses to install source rpm.I use rpm command directly,it seems to  
process it,but installation doesn't seem to happen.I am producing the  
command results below.

	[root at sidharth rpm]# rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4.src.rpm
		 1:kernel ########################################### [100%]
	[root at sidharth rpm]# rpm -qa|grep kernel
	kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4
	kernel-doc-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4
	kernel-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4
	[root at sidharth rpm]# rpm -Uvh kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4.src.rpm
   		 1:kernel ######################################## [100%]

When I look at the archive,it contains many patch files and another  
archive containing kernel sources. Can I just untar the kernel sources  
 from the rpm archive into /usr/src ? Where do I send patch files ?

Thanks,
