Hello,
I have a FC6 system (with no updates). When I do
'uname -r', I get "2.6.18-1.2798.fc6", the standard
kernel that comes with the original FC6.
I have been reading and following the instructions in
the link
"http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/RELEASE-NOTES-en_US.html"
section 8.6, to get the full kernel source to the
above kernel. One of the instructions says:
yumdownloader -e core-source -e updates-source
--source kernel
Can someone please tell me what the options -
core-source and updates-source do? I have done some
googling, read man pages, but to no luck. Any
explanation or pointers to web pages that explain
these options would be appreciated.
Will the option "updates-source" update my kernel
version.
Thank you,
Ahmed.
