[Techtalk] Need some source code help - getting it

[Hans Tegnerud]

I might be missing something here, but as I understand it you only want the
kernel source tree and that's a part of your normal redhat packages as
kernel-source-2.4.9-21.rpm on one of your CDs.

Try a 'rpm -qa |grep kernel' and see if it turns out you have the kernel
source.

> I am taking an operating systems class and all of the projects will be in
linux. Our first project and introduction to linux is adding system calls to
the kernel, recompiling and running programs to use those system calls. I
have borrowed CDs to install redhat 7.2-1, but didn't get the source code.
My linux box does not have a connection to the internet or any network and
when I attempt to download the source rpm from redhat on my windows box, it
attempts to run the program, can't, and then seems to loose track of the
source it just downloaded. Any suggestions for a good place to get the
source for redhat 7.2-1 that I will be able to download to a windows 2000
box, transfer to cd then install on my linux box. Thanks for any help you
can provide.
