You and me both ;> The few times I've d/l'd kernel....src.rpms I've
had 'unexpected' results. 'Course I've never used kpackage to install a
src.rpm either (I use 'rpm --rebuild'). So now I only d/l the
kernel-source/header/docs rpms and 'rpm -Uvh' them (or use kpackage).
This will install the source and headers properly in /usr/src/linux-2.2.18,
and set the link /usr/src/linux@ to point to it. All you need to do then
is cd to /usr/src/linux and start your 'make xconfig'
