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
