hi,
I am working on an application which requires the header file <linux/limits.h>.
Which file do I need to rpm from the LinuxPPC 2000 CD-Rom to install kernel source?
thanks,
Mike

Don't do that. Kernel header files are not intended to be directly
#include'd into user applications. Use the the GNU C and/or C++
libraries and headers like you're supposed to, and you will not
depend on kernel files at all.

This is correct in the Linus-approved True Linux Userspace (tm). Problem
is that on RedHat based systems like linuxppc, glibc doesn't contain
/usr/include/linux except as a symlink to /usr/src/linux/include/linux.
So you need either kernel sources from some archive or the
"kernel-headers" RPM.
