I imagine you're looking for this... http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.18-8.el5.src.rpm If 'uname -r' says "2.6.18-8.el5", then this is the matching source code. If it's not an exact match, you should be able to find the right kernel source package here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/updates/SRPMS/ Note that it's a source RPM rather than a binary RPM. You should handle source RPMs a little differently, although yum might have some support for source RPMs. Shane /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
