i'm sorry if this is a really dim question, but in what sense is the 
kernel source not available?  i have the kernel-source package installed, 
and it's stuck about a quarter of a gig of files under 
/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358.  they look a lot like the source of such 
kernels as i've built recently.

am i completely missing some important point?  is this not the kernel 
source?
