Thanks Akemi.

I was refering to this Centos wiki article:

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

The second part.

I'll read up on the link you sent me.

Thanks for that.

Is the link you sent me more relevant than the MaxRPM 
guidelines:

http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/p5206.html

Kind Regards,

Keith
