[prog] RedHat Linux and a lack of proper kernel headers

[Samantha]

I believe the RH installer does have the option of downloading the source
for the kernel. Apparently there is a picture of Alan Cox next to it.

So if you boot from the install CD the install should come up again so you
can get the kernel source option.

Hope it helps.
