FC5, surprisingly, doesnt come with the kernel headers/sources. this site has the RPMS http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/
i downloaded the kernel-devel and installed it without problems I ran the vmware config.pl to setup vmplayer. it asks you for the kernel source tree which is usually /usr/src/linux/include. well mine was /us/src/kernel/fc5-2.6.15...(something like that!), but it the config.pl threw me an error saying the address spaces were diferent. wierd message that!! aint sure about what to do.
have seen the /boot and i find that there is also a vmlinuz, system.map that are actually 2.6.16 (not 2.6.15) . will now download the plain vanilla 2.6.16 kernel and use its sources. of course will boot into the 2.6.16 kernel instead.
should update this once i get through vmplayer. i have to!!! coz all my GB's of pst data runs in winxp inside a linux window :)
