Otto,
The address was close and I found the kernel. However I don't like
the results of the next step:
[root at dragonfly mark]# whoami
root
[root at dragonfly mark]# pwd
/home/mark
[root at dragonfly mark]# ls
Desktop
kernel-2.6.10-1.737_FC3.src.rpm
[root at dragonfly mark]# rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.10-1.737_FC3.src.rpm
error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
[root at dragonfly mark]#
Why can't rpm create the source directories?
Thanks,
Mark
