If you are going to change this procedure for Fedora Core to something like "install the src.rpm, edit a config file and rebuild it etc," it should not change mid-release!!!!!!!!!


Nobody, and I mean nobody, suggested doing this for FC2 so far.



ok, my bad and sorry for the exclamation points. I saw the change made to rawhide and thought that might be a proposal for FC2.



we already don't ship /usr/src/linux since about RHL7.1 days...


no, but you ship /usr/src/linux-<version>; most people will find that.


http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/index.html is what I hope google will point at....




me too. That's one example. What I'm saying is that, if the "standard" way of making a change to your kernel in Linux is to recompile from source in /usr/src/linux-$(uname -r), and on Fedora Core that is not the way to do it, it's got to be very well documented and public that the "new" way is to do <foo>.

Anyhow, thanks for reading.
