LLfan Posted October 2, 2003 Author Share Posted October 2, 2003 Come to find out there isn't even a usr/src/linux/ directory, I do have a usr/src/RPM directory.I am trying to figure out what the numbers of my kernel are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranquilo Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 You can use uname from a konsole to reveal your kernel version.uname -atranquilo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Mike/usr/src is by default empty ( except for the /rpm directory ) . . you will have to install ( new ) kernel sources there yourself, but only if you want to compile a ( new ) kernel.
