In the future, PLEASE include which version of Linux you're working
with.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4, and Fedora Core releases 2 through 5
use a V2.6 kernel, previous versions used either the 2.2 or 2.4 kernels.
With the kernel change, things got changed in packages as well.

The "kernel-headers" became "kernel-devel".  The "icbs" and "pcmcia"
stuff was rolled into the kernel RPM proper.  The "kernel-source" RPM
was done away with.  You have to go get the kernel-whatever.src.rpm file
via either "up2date" or "yum".

This is all explained in the release notes.  Please read them.  If you
need to rebuild a kernel from the kernel-xxxxxx.src.rpm, please see

	http://www.rhil.net/docs/kernelbuild-26.html

for details.
