Hello,

I have installed the FC3-test3 along with the numerous updates (dang that
took some time) The install has been quite easy and it works pretty stable
on my system.
But to include some additional kernel modules (unfortunatly ntfs, and modify
some USB stuff) I wanted to find the kernel-source rpm but cant seem to find
it. Looking at SRPMS the size of the kernelxxxx.src.rpm file seems right
(comparing to 2.6.9 kernel on kernel.org) but trying to install it does not
give anything usefull. I tried rpm -vv and even though it is around 40M only
very few files is extracted. 
I did try download the kernel 2.6.9 from kernel.org but after compiling and
trying to run it I recvie a kernel panik (I have the error somewhere at
home....currently at work). What I did notice was that on entering kernel
config (make xconfig) I recived a large amount of entries/flags that was
unknown in the 2.6.9 kernel.

Any suggestion what to do ?
