I installed the rpm called 'kernel-source-2.2.17-14.i386.rpm'. I'm a newbie
and I don't understand what you mean by 'build it yourself'. Does that
happen automatically when I install the source rpm or is there something
else I need to do? Should I have installed file under the 'SRPMS' heading
called 'kernel-2.2.17-14.src.rpm' instead?

A directory called 'linux-2.2.17-14' was created.
It looks like that that VMware is looking for directories called 'asm',
'linux' and
'net'. When I do a 'whereis' on these, the response back says that they are
all in /usr/include. But when I go there, 'net' is there, but 'asm' and
'linux' are linked to /usr/local/src/linux/include/. And there's nothing
below the /usr/local/src level.
So I still need the files called 'asm' and 'linux'. They aren't in the
''linux-2.2.17-14' directory. 'net' is, but 'asm' and 'linux' aren't.
I went to the Red Hat site and there are kernel 2.2.17-14 rpms for 'smp',
'BOOT', 'pcmcia', 'ibcs', 'source', 'doc' and 'utils', but no
'kernel-headers' rpm. Where can I get it?
