OK, Thanks.  Is this setup a done deal?  If you are wanting to build
something that relies on the kernel source tree, I assume that a
rpm-build -p SPECS/kernel-version and 
ln -s /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-version /usr/src/linux 
would provide the needed tree?

What a pita.  From reading rpm-qi kernel-devel, the kernel-devel package
is equiv. to the old kernel-headers?

I an sure there is a reason to do it this way but I am not seeing it
unless RH is just trying to make it harder for folks to migrate here
from other distros.

Sorry if this has been hashed out before I did not search the archives
before going off on this mini rant.
