I tried to see the linux kernel source code but i could not get to do do so. Ideally it should be there in the /usr/src directory but its not there. Can somebody suggest me where it should be and how can I get to know about it? I am using fedora core-5 linux 2.6 kernel. Ideally i think it should be given with the CD as per GPL terms and condition? right? Being a starter i dont know how to play with the kernel? Please suggest, how can I get the linux kernel to start kernel module programming?

If you have it on CD, there would be about 7 disks, 3 for installing, 3 for source, and one for documentation. If you got it on a DVD, you may have the source files on it.
Otherwise, just download it from Red Hat.
If you are interested only in the Linux kernel, see the other posts here.
Edit: To view the source, open it in a text editor.
