RE: Kernel source missing?

["Jason P. Stanford" <jps3@acs.art.lehigh.edu>]

Ah! Did a 

% tar -ztvf | grep ./sys/

and found that (apparently) the kernel source is in the BIG tarball
for the entire distro. I just did a

% mount /dev/cd0a /mnt
% cd /mnt
% mkdir -p /usr/src/sys
% tar -zxf src.tar.gz -C /usr/src/ ./sys/*

which seems to be nicely pulling only the kernel stuff out. I'll
post back if I have any problems with this method. There were
some complaints about not being able to do something with modification
times, but otherwise all *seems* ok. I'll be building my first kernel
in short order. Hopefully.

I'm not familiar with a "union mount". Can you elaborate?

Jason,

There is a file on the root of the cd called src.tar.gz   You must tar xzvf
src.tar.gz and 
I would also suggest making a union mount so that it is excessible to you in
write mode!
A great site with these steps as well is www.openlysecure.org , great
reading there!

Good luck,

   I *cannot* locate the kernel source tarball on the 2.8 CDROMs for
any platform (I'm using i386). According to the docs I've found there's
supposed to be a tarball srcsys.tar.gz on one or both of the cd's but
I cannot find them, so I am assuming they're not there.

   Am I blind?  :)
