Where's the repo for downloading the Centos 5.5 kernel sources?

It's not in CentOS-Base.repo

I'd like to install the source code for the current Centos 5.5 kernel, and create some customised kernels.

See here:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel

Thanks for that Akemi!

I have found this link:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.5/os/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.18-194.el5.src.rpm

Is there a YUM or Smart PM repository configuration file for this Centos source code repo, so I can browse and install SRPMS from Smart PM or YUM?

I'd like to learn how to create my own custom linux kernels. Quite a long learning curve, but it's something I'm very fascinated with.

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts
