Thread: Compile Kernel - Obtaining latest source

-

i have compiled first kernel using ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) installation on virtualbox. followed instructions at:
http://easylinuxcds.com/blog/?p=3244

these instructions involved using source from
code:
apt-get install linux-source
on machine,
code:
uname -a
returns
code:
linux bluemoose 2.6.31-17-generic #54-ubuntu smp thu dec 10 17:01:44 utc 2009 x86_64 gnu/linux
my question is: how "2.6.31-17-generic" relate source in "linux-source"? source code in "linux-source" same up-to-date official ubuntu kernel (in case 2.6.31-17-generic)? if ubuntu releases updated kernel, how/where obtain updated source can make kernel changes , re-compile?

thanks,
ken

p.s. reason trying compile own modified kernel incorporate fixes ortek wireless keyboard:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14787
while @ same time trying keep system close official ubuntu 9.10 kernel possible.
