There are even the config files used for various versions of the kernel in the configs/ dir. When you install the kernel-source rpm, it creates a symlink, /usr/src/linux-2.4 that points to the actual dir of /usr/src/linux-2.4.<rest of version>. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE http://geek.j2solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (http://www.microwerks.net/~hugo/) Was I helpful?
