RPM Query
hi 2 all

i have a server runnin redhat 7.2

kernel source is in /usr/src/linux2.4 as usual . I would like to install kernel source for kernel-source-2.4.7-10 also into /usr/src without overwriting whats there

when i do a regular install i just get kernel-source-2.4.9-e.3 (which is newer than kernel-source-2.4.7-10) is already installed

i looked thru the manpages and have an idea what it might be but i cant take any chances as its not my box

can anyone tell me the correct option to pass to rpm

(i am trying to install old source to compile a module i need for a kickstart disk)

many thanks

(sorry for posting in two forums ..mistake)
