[K12OSN] K12LTSP - make install - Linux kernel source not found

["Terrell Prudé Jr."]

Hello Leo,

The K12LTSP is indeed a great system for computer labs.  It also works
very well in a business situation.  You made a good choice.

One thing before we get started:  you should plan ASAP to "upgrade" to
K12LTSP 5.0EL, as Fedora Core 6 (the basis of K12LTSP 6.0.0) hasn't
received security updates since December 2007.  You are thus vulnerable
to getting hacked.  CentOS 5, the basis of K12LTSP 5.0EL, on the other
hand, will be supported to the year 2014.  Turns out that CentOS 5 looks
and acts virtually identical to Fedora Core 6, so your users won't
experience user-interface disruption.

There are two ways to install what you're after.  There's the command
line way, and there's the GUI way.  To install the kernel source on my
system (K12LTSP 4.2EL) from the command line, I did this, as root:

  yum install kernel-devel

which should also install the header files.  The GUI way is to fire up
the "Add/Remove Programs" application and install the "kernel-devel"
package.
