I see the problem. All those users of the nvidia driver will have
problems to build the kernel module. And what will they search for to
solve the problem: a kernel-source(code) rpm that is will not be part of
FC3 (as it seems).
Ahh, so Redhat finally progressed from a kernel the users cant hope to
build to no kernel at all.
I only mention this as im on my 10th pass at trying to build a core 1
kernel, so im not bitter ;-) What happens to the .configs RH use to
build the kernel, the supplied ones are decoration and seem to be no use
at all, or am I missing the point or just a plonker ? Please vote now !
