Hello,
Thank you for your explanation.
My understanding from reading the instructions in the
link, following the steps mentioned will only get the
kernel source for the currently-running kernel. So,
why would yumdownloader get the latest kernel source,
unless there is an error in the instructions?
So, if I want to get the source for 2.6.18.., and not
the latest kernel (2.6.2-0...), what are the options I
should provide to yumdownloader.
Thank you,
Ahmed.
