    FC1 Gurus:

    I am attempting to install the kernel source on my server as the first step
    toward recompiling a USB driver. When I issue the rpm command, nothing
    happens and the shell prompt returns within a few seconds. No output is
    generated and no files are installed. I have tried this on two different
    FC1 servers with identical results.

    Here's my shell session:
    # rpm --checksig kernel-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl.src.rpm
    kernel-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl.src.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK
    # rpm -i kernel-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl.src.rpm

    What am I missing? This used to work for RH9.

    Thanks,
    John V. Pope
