Try using dselect to select the kernel-source you want as well as "kernel
package" which has the scripts for a Debian-style kernel install. Read the
docs with "kernel package".
I've tried both SuSe and RedHat and find Debian easier to get around in--most
of the time.

You suggested I didn't have textutils installed: both apt-get & dselect say
