Ok, good point to ask Charlie.

One of the rpms (I can't remember which one) had a dependency on
kernel-headers.  However I could not find an actual
kernel-headers-2.2.19-7.0.8 rpm.  But I did find that the kernel headers 
are included in the kernel-source-2.2.19-7.0.8.i386.rpm.

I tried using --nodeps which of course worked to install the rpm but then 
I found things did not work correctly compiling and using the make 
command.

I dove deeper and found that a key link was required for everything to 
work smoothly that the kernel-headers rpm provided.  Since the actual 
kernel headers where installed from kernel-source-2.2.19-7.0.8.i386.rpm I 
decided to fix this situation by building a 'dummy'
kernel-headers-2.2.19-7.0.8.noarch.rpm.  This achieves two purposes.  It 
solves the dependency issue as the rpm shows that kernel-headers is 
installed and creates the missing link.

Might be a brute force solution but works like a charm.

And remember, if you were interested in peaking into the rpm yourself, 
the source files for all my contribs may be found here:
