That particular rpm will not hold the source anyway. You want to look for one that has the same general package name but also has the word source in it, such as: kernel-2.4.7-10-source.i386.rpm or something similar. -----Original Message----- From: Dege, Robert C.

Do get a list of files on an rpm already installed: # rpm -ql kernel-2.4.7-10 (notice, you're listing the package name, not the file name) Do get a list of file on an rpm file: #rpm -qpl kernel-2.4.7-10.i386.rpm (here is where you list the file name, notice the -p parameter passed to the rpm command). -Rob -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
