Right, so maybe another package "kernel_devel"?
> Also, what's wrong with su'ing to root and compiling what you need? Well, suppose you want to build an RPM that includes one or more kernel modules. As it is now you can only build the complete RPM as root, or you need to scan through the error output and then manually build those things in the kernel tree. IMHO these binaries should be provided in some devel package, although I agree kernel_sources itself might not be the optimal candidate. -Malte
