Kernel Source 2.6.24.7-laptop-1mnb [solved]

[linux_trojan]

I am using kernel 2.6.24.7-laptop-1mnb but for the life of me I cant find the source for this kernel. What is this thing called? I cant see it in the when I install new software and search for kernel sources.

On recent Mandriva systems the full kernel source is only used to re-build the kernel. If that is what you want to do, the package that you want is kernel-source-2.6.24.7-1mnb

 

If, however, you want to build a module, then the package that you want is kernel-laptop-devel-2.6.24.7-1mnb

Thanks for your input. I am trying to use VMware and I guess that creates a module. But the one I needed is the Development package. I downloaded it and it is working now. Many thanks for your suggestion.
