You may wish to revisit that, Rick. Current stock RedHat systems don't 
even have a /usr/src/linux any more - the kernel source is handed out in 
/usr/src/linux-2.4 which is a symlink to /usr/src/linux-$version, and 
the kernel headers are part of a separate package called 
glibc-kernheaders and actually live in /usr/include as real files rather 
than symlinks to the kernel include/asm and include/linux directories.

Cheers,
Waider.
