Kernel Source

smiley_boy · 10-19-2004, 02:04 PM

I am running Mandrake 10.0 official download edition. Where can I find the kernel source? I need the path to install the smart link driver(cant post url, not allowed)

It should be on your install cds - open the package manager and browse to it.

first update your uprmi sources using the "easy urpmi" this can be found on google with a simple search. Note: make sure to remove the cd media first.

after you've done that it's a simple matter of

Code:

# urpmi kernel-source

hope this helps.

If the whole updating UPRMI sources is confusing (It was for me at first), then you can just go into the Mandrake Control Center (mcc in console) and choose SOFTWARE and then INSTALL SOFTWARE/PACKAGES, or something like that and search for kernel-source.

Actually go here first: http://www.zebulon.org.uk/

For instructions on how to set up and utilize URPMI and it's sources.

http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ just go there, it's newb proof.

also, you can go into the software control center as Micro said, but it's really only useful for browsing. If you know the name of the package you want, for instance Gaim

Code:

# urpmi gaim

all installed.

The Zebulon link ends up taking you to the easyurpmi link after providing rather simple directions and hints to setting up things like DVD playback etc.

Go into "Install Packages" and look in System > Base. Should be called kernel-source-2.6.3-7mdk or something like that. (working from memory cuz I'm currently in Slackware)
