kernel source

[charlescpc]

Installing a modem and got a message that it wants the Kernel source to be compile for installation. How do I install the Kernel source?
Running Mandrake 9.1 trying to install a Intel 536ep modem...
Thanks Charlie

after much search finally found out how to get the kernel source. urpmi kernel-source then asks for the third disk.
Boy it like pulling teeth getting anything done in Linux!!!

If you ever get bored with hunting down packages you might want to try gentoo (http://www.gentoo.org)
I got sick of hunting down rpm's in redhat as well as it's lack of optomiziations for anything higher than a 386 so I decided to give something new a try, and I havent tooked back yet. As far as actually learning how linux works I feel I have learned more in the last few months on gentoo that the previous year with redhat.
