FC4 ATI/kernel sources installation. Where are the sources?

[Bear Knuckle]

Oh my, FC4 is not what I expected it would be. Sound is not funcional at the moment (last happened with FC1). Apt was declared deprecated. Great... yum sux like hell. Ever searched for "kernel"? The resulting list exceeds my konsole-lenght by far. Using a logically OR in a search seems pretty retarded to me, but anyway at the moment I am trying to get 3D-acceleration to work.

I tried the livna-repository, but the module was not installed correctly. So I tried to install them manually. Next I installed the kernel-sources (pain in the ass since FC3, never really understood why they are in no repository). But the make.sh-script still does not find them. It's looking at "/usr/src/linux/include" but the sources are not there. I installed them from "http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/fedora.redhat.com/linux/core/4/i386/os/SRPMS/".

So why are they not installed in the usual directory and how can I determine where they are installed?

edit: Ok, the problem seems to be, the sources are not installed.

I do:

root@/home/$USER$ rpm -Uhv kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.rpm
1:kernel ########################################### [100%]
root@/home/$USER$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4
root@/home/$USER$

So why does a query only show the kernel (btw only one of two installed kernels). I begin not only to annoy yum, i start to hate it.

Hey, can nobody answer my question or is it the annoying sound of my post that prevents you from helping me?

I am really tired of linux. I want something to work with and not a system I have to spend days with installing to be able to work with.

The way to get the kernel sources is documented in the Release Notes.

Thank you. Any idea why fedora is not like every other linux?

[markkuk]

If it were like any other Linux, there wouldn't be any point for it to exist. If you don't like Fedora's way of doing things you are free to pick any other of thehundreds of other distros, or make your own.

I am just not willing to spend days with every new release to get a working system, because they change moods every release.

But your right. I'll check out something different. Bye!
