Harry,
The sources including the 2.6 pre-kernel are only on the powerpack version.
9.2 has not shipped yet (sometime this week I believe). You have to be a
paying customer to get the extra "fruit" before everyone else :>). All the
extra NVidia stuff including the NVidia kernels (for smp, enterprise, P3,
secure) are in the PowerPack edition.
