Where can I find the source sode for red hat -linux?

I have 3 cd's of red hat installation disc(red hat9.0)

  1. I believe that the source actually appears on disks 4-6, which you probably don't have. RedHat has so many optional packages that the actual install download is three disks, and some installs do not even require all three. For the rare people who need the source, there are the extra three cd's that people can download.

    Otherwise, if you just want the kernel source, you might be able to try something similar to this:

    rpm -I kernel-2.4.20-18.9.src.rpm

    and just substitute the version number of your kernel which you can find by running this command:

    uname -a

    The RPM command should download the source from the web.

  3. You may try /usr/src/linux or somewhere in /usr folder.
