[ILUG] FC7 Making a Build Folder from kernel*..src.rpm Problem(s)

[Frank Murphy]

Why as SU, can't I make said folders....be gentle.
Or should the folders be preexisting.

Need to install a kernel module, requires this build stuff.

[root at localhost Desktop]# rpm -ivv kernel-2.6.21-1.3228.fc7.src.rpm
