Hi everyone, My question is off the topic of the group, but I don't know anywhere else to ask. I see there are three kernel packages that I can't distinguish for RH 7.2 kernel-2.4.7-10.i386.rpm kernel-2.4.7-10.src.rpm kernel-source-2.4.7-10.rpm The last one, I'm pretty sure it contains the source code for the kernel. Which of the first two is the compiled kernel code? And what is the other? When I installed kernel-2.4.7-10.src.rpm, it installed all .o files in /lib/modules/ ...etc. However, when I queried kernel-2.4.7-10.i386.rpm, it contains the same .o files. Thanks,
