The kernel-devel package is the headers etc. needed to build modules 
(currently shipped with the regular kernel package in FC3) and not the 
full kernel-source package as shipped in FC2. So in FC4 there will be 
the regular kernel package, the kernel-devel package for building out of 
tree modules, and the kernel SRPM for building custom kernels.

Is RHEL4 like that?
