Ben,
Thanks. I'm now running 2.2.16-22 from RPM. First accomplishment behind
me.
Now, my goal was to do a kernel build from source, and I downloaded a
non-source package (kernel-2.2.16-22.i686.rpm). I couldn't find a SRPM
of -22, so I downloaded kernel-2.2.16-3.src.rpm. I think Larry said he was
running this kernel. I'm hoping this really is source for the kernel...
I attempted to run rpm, and it looks like it's running, but I can't find
the source on my system. (Assuming that it really got written somewhere...)
There's no directory under /usr/src for 2.2.16-3. I used:
rpm -ivh kernel-2.2.16-3.src.rpm
Where does rpm put this stuff? I'm sure there must be a way to get rpm to
tell me what it does?
Off to find my copy of Maximum RPM.
Thanks,
Mark

RedHat 7.0 packages are packaged in the newer "RPM 4" format. Get the 3.0.5
update from the redhat 6.2 updates directory, it has support for version 4
packages.
