Oops, I forgot about kernel-debuginfo-common.  That's where the source comes from.  

I actually was able to do a "yum install cscope", then run "cscope -R" on the kernel source and it worked fine.  All that running the live CD on a 512MB laptop.  If there's room, can we add the cscope rpm to the live CD?  We can just build the cscope database on the fly if needed.

Thanks,
Mike
