Change to the /usr/src/redhat/SPECS directory and do a rpmbuild -bp kernel-2.6.spec (I'm not at work now, so I may be mispelling the name). This will extract the source and apply patches under the BUILD directory. You should be able to find a linux-2.6.18.i686 directory there that you can tar up, modify, and compile anyplace else. I do this at work since we need to apply some patches to support some different platforms (like touchscreens, PCMCIA issues, etc). The -bp does the "prep" stage, which extracts source and applies patches. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
