I'm not talking abut the source RPM but the .tar.gz that has just
the source and a Makefile.

I ftped them from mirrors.usc.edu. They are 3.0r1. This time I
instaled from CD1 the supposed "vanilla" one. For some reason it
installed the 2.2.20-idepci kernel.
Thanks for the tar help. I thought that if you gave a filename as an
arguement the "f" would be assumed.
Anyway I tried to make the module and it turns out that the kernel
source wasn't installed. Is it on the CDs? If so where and how do I
install it?
