kernel-smp-devel  or kernel-devel  has the header files needed. You
dont need the whole kernel source for the nvidia drivers... no way.
Read through the livna spec.. there is magic to determine a default
kernel version to look for and it knows where to look for the headers
both fc3 vintage as well as fc4/rawhide vintage. And both the 'kernel'
variable and the 'ksrc' variable can be defined as arguments.  I never
have to define ksrc as long as i have the right kernel-devel package
installed matching the kernel version i want to compile for.
