Since there does not seem to be a kernel-source rpm anymore, is there an
rpm to install the kernel source for ppc? I installed kernel-devel but
i do not see a configs dir like I am used to so I can start with the

the test packages just not there yet.
Install the src.rpm instead. Then look in /usr/src/redhat/*
OK, Thanks. Is this setup a done deal? If you are wanting to build
something that relies on the kernel source tree, I assume that a
rpm-build -p SPECS/kernel-version and
ln -s /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-version /usr/src/linux
would provide the needed tree?
What a pita. From reading rpm-qi kernel-devel, the kernel-devel package
is equiv. to the old kernel-headers?
I an sure there is a reason to do it this way but I am not seeing it
unless RH is just trying to make it harder for folks to migrate here
from other distros.
Sorry if this has been hashed out before I did not search the archives
before going off on this mini rant.

I haven't finished downloading CD #1 yet, but you might want to read the
Release Notes it surely contains. There probably is discussion of how to
create the kernel source. Actually I think the idea is a good one.
