Where is my Kernel-Source?

[chjo]

Surprice, another noob..

I've just installed Fedora Core 2, love the looks of it.

But have a probleme, after the installation I can't find any kernel-source ??
There is a valid file at cd 3, kernel-source-2.6.5-1.358.i386.rpm, but when I tried to install that one i get som, to me, strange messages.

[root@localhost install]# rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.6.5-1.358.i386.rpm
fel: Ouppfyllda beroenden:
/usr/bin/strip behövs av kernel-source-2.6.5-1.358
gcc >= 3.2 behövs av kernel-source-2.6.5-1.358
gtk2-devel behövs av kernel-source-2.6.5-1.358
ncurses-devel behövs av kernel-source-2.6.5-1.358
qt-devel behövs av kernel-source-2.6.5-1.358
readline-devel behövs av kernel-source-2.6.5-1.358
[root@localhost install]#

Most of this I might just solve, but how will I get a hold of for example /usr/bin/strip ??

I would be very greatful if I could get som guidance, totaly lost here,,

ps. This in swedish, "behövs av" is pretty much ta same as "will need" ds.

the sources are located in /usr/src
and the current kernel sources are symlinked to /usr/src/linux

mut i think i misunderstand.....language barrier

[chjo]

That much I do know, but my /usr/src is empty

[root@localhost src]# dir
[root@localhost src]#

[root@localhost src]# rpm -qa | fgrep kernel
kernel-2.6.5-1.358
kernel-utils-2.4-9.1.131
[root@localhost src]#

Oh i get it...ok you need to install the development is it tools? well anyways you need to install the gcc compiler and it's libraries from the cd in order to compile the kernel and all that you will need is on the cd that you installed from
But i'm not familar with fc2 so as how to do it in your distro i'm not shure.

[chjo]

Tnx for your replies

Although I'm on the edge to give up, atlest this distro.
I keep instaling rpm's, and he's just asking for more of them, Is that normal..?!?

Start to think my installation cd's fainling, hardly any of the files i need is to find on the,

[loft306]

Gentoo is a good choice but there is no gui installer for it, however the Gentoo doc's are the best and the handbook is great gentoo.org though the learning curve is sharp with it if you follow all the directions you will be better in the longrun from doing a manual install you will understand how linux works a little more

But i would wait for mor ppl to see this before you jump ship.

Oki, tnx man.
I'll take that under concideration..

Might I suggest trying the following:

yum install kernel-sourcecode

[chjo]

Tnx Dolda2000, aplied this command.. but fell asleep so missed the install/upgrade confirmation
Will try this tomorrow again..

Cheers
