Paul, it does not work but it is not really important.

Apparently nothing to configure Grub !

I want to load a kernel source ; for the time being using some info from the 
list my packages sources for YUM are like this :

Would you consider this as good even with "unstable" and "testing" ; I have 
installed SYNAPTIC and for some packages with only this entry for packages 
sources :
http://ayo.freshrpms.net/

In any case I want synaptic to use the same parameters as YUM but the way they 
are listed with variables in URL it is not obvious to paste them there !

To download a kernel source to be installed in "/usr/src" I assume I have to 
select "kernel-sourcecode" ?
Regards.
