Linuxers,
What is an SRPM? I have a CD that says "Red Hat 6.2 Source" and it contains all SRPMs. I just want to install the source code to some of the programs I already have (mainly the basic util commands like cd, mkdir, cat, grep, etc.). I don't have the sources yet, so I want to know what is the best way to obtain them. Am I supposed to install the SRPMs from CD-2 of RH?
Thanks.

SRPM == Source RPM. You can install the source rpm, it will put source files in /usr/src/*

Can I install from the srpm of a program that is already installed? I have the program installed, I just need the source. Okay, RTFMing...

rpm -Uvh package.src.rpm
Will install into /usr/src/redhat/{SOURCES,SPEC}
The source, including any patches. The spec file will tell you what would have been done.
