Hi Peter: The source for 40 is under: ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/40/SRPMS/vendor/original/kernel-2.6.9-5.EL.src.rpm and, also ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/40/SRPMS/vendor/updates and ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/40/SRPMS/vendor/errata depending on which version you are looking for. Hope this helps, Paul Jochum [log in to unmask] Peter Gronbech wrote: > > >My primary question is how can I mount an NTFS partition on a SL 4 >system. > >Now I think I need to recomplie the kernel with the NTFS module. >This leads me to the problem that there is no kernel src rpm as >mentioned in the release notes >ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/40/i386/SL.documentation/ >RELEASE-NOTES-x86-en > >"In order to eliminate the redundancy inherent in providing a separate > package for the kernel source code when that source code already > exists in the kernel's .src.rpm file, Scientific Linux 4.x no > longer includes the kernel-source package.
