Hi, thanks for your help. I think it was really a permissions problem, I 
had to run yumdownloader as root. This worked:

su -c 'yumdownloader --source  kernel-2.6.22.1-27.fc7 
--enablerepo=fedora-source' and it found the fedora-source repo which is 
listed in file /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo. Then it downloaded the 
kernel source for me. I get the feeling that development-source is for 
beta versions.

Thanks

Bob
