Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Fedora Project Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by SamFolkWilliams: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Kernel The comment on the change is: fixed bug 204070 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Many of the tutorials, examples, and textbooks about Linux kernel development assume the kernel sources are installed under the `/usr/src/linux/` directory. If you make a symbolic link, as shown below, you should be able to use those learning materials with the Fedora Core packages. Install the appropriate kernel sources, as shown earlier, and then run the following command: - {{{su -c 'ln -s /usr/src/kernels/kernel-<all-the-rest> /usr/src/linux' + {{{su -c 'ln -s /usr/src/kernels/<version>.<arch> /usr/src/linux' }}} Enter the `root` password when prompted. @@ -73, +73 @@ Users who require access to Fedora Core original kernel sources can find them in the kernel .src.rpm package.
