yes but if you don't have an update source declared ... or aren't booting from that kernel my experience has been that it tries to grab source for the kernel you have. For example I had 13mdk on my box (win4lin kernel) wanted to try and apply patches. so I wanted 18 source when I did urpmi kernel-source ...... I got the source for 13 even though I have an updates dir. but when I did urpmi --update kernel-source ... I got 18 James
