Thanks that link explained a few things.... However it still mentions downloading the kernel source yourself then installing...
I was looking for a command that goes and grabs the source rpm.... something like "up2date kernel-source" or something like that - to go grab the correct kernel source... I can do "up2date mozilla" for instance and it gets it and installs it. I am looking for something similaiar for the kernel source src.rpm.
THanks,
Jerry

Interestingly enough, the man page covers that.
OT: What horribly broken e-mail client are you using? It keeps breaking threads.

Use your web browser, http://mirror.centos.org/centos/<version>/os/SRPMS
and for the updates :
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/<version>/updates/SRPMS
The sources for the kernel are published at the same place as the sources for everything else.
You cant use up2date or yum to manage source rpms ( on CentOS 4 )
