[rhn-users] kernel-devel

[Jason Sigurdur]

Hi, what exactly is a 'configured source'? This is something that is
provided by the kernel-devel package. How does it fullfile requirements
for building modules without the kernel source package?

Why must one 'patch' the kernel "requiring the kernel source tree" for
modules? Is it not the porpose of the kernel-devel package to build
modules with out the kernel-source?

For example; I would like to install a new netfilter module. Why must
one patch the kernel then go throught a make modules and make
modules_install?

Thx confused
