FC3 - no more kernel-source rpm?

[ian douglas]

Hi folks,

Core 3, x86 platform (p4 1.4GHz, 1GB RAM)

Downloaded the DVD iso and mounted it on an ftp server, and burned disc 
1 iso for booting my new system with "linux askmethod" to launch an FTP 
install, and everything went nice and smooth.

I didn't see a "kernel" option under the development branch when picking 
my packages, and after installing everything onto the machine, realize 
that there was no "kernel-source" package as there had been in the past, 
to recompile my kernel and modules.

Was this an oversight? Documentation and release notes for Core 3 on 
http://fedora.redhat.com/ are pretty sparse - seems everything still 
points to the Core 2 release still.

Thanks for any tips... if no "kernel-source" package is available, then 
I'll just hit kernel.org and grab the latest and greatest and hope for 
the best ;o)

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

The release notes are on your DVD as RELEASE-NOTES-en, and answer your
question.

Hope this helps,

James.
