Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 891 Lines: 17 I sent this to kernel newbies first, and while I got one response there, it answered a different question than the one I was asking... I'm on a SuSE system. I'm working on automating the install of said system, but it needs a Linus kernel - 2.6.21.7 specifically, and it needs kernel source too so that we can build modules in the field as needed. I see you can make an rpm of a bootable kernel with "make rpm". Is there a streamlined way of building a corresponding kernel-source RPM? Or do people pretty much all just dump the source in /usr/src, and manually update symlinks as needed? If the latter, what symlinks need to be updated? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
