kernel-headers Was Not apart of glibc prior to 8.2
kernel-2.4.18.8.2 was an update kernel built specifically for 8.0 and
done on an 8.0 system.
Since there is no update kernel-header rpm I can only assume that it is
built to work with
the stock 8.0 kernel-header.
An easy test it to see if you can build the NVIDIA_kernel.src.rpm.
If you can then everything with is OK.
Putting kernel-headers in glibc was not a Mandrake thing.
This is an across the board change that will affect all distros.
Mandrake 8.2 and RH 7.3 are already at this level, I have no first hand
knowledge of any of the others, so I can not speak to their current
releases.
But they too, unless they choose to say dead in the water, will change
since providing an update glibc and kernel packages will require it.
