I solved my samba and selinux problem (dealing with an old ntfs partition), now I'm moving on to the second stage of converting a machine to linux...getting an instance of WinXP or Vista running in VMware on F7. Did all the RTFM stuff. Downloaded an evaluation copy of VMware and the "any-any" patch from http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update114.tar.gz Installed the development libraries and tools. During the install VMware complains that the kernel doesn't have the right modules. So it wants to compile them. No problem, since I had rtfm, I was ready...almost. :( It is asking for the location of the linux source. The source directories in /usr/src/redhat are empty. When I started this conversion from XP to linux, I had downloaded the F7 DVD and installed the desktop/office option...later adding the development libraries and tools. It has been a long time since I had to muck with a kernel build. Is the source on that DVD? If so, where is it and how do I get it into the right location so that I can finish this VMware install? Is the "Get the Source" guidance at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/CustomKernel#head-e8ad3159461876ddaff 51c82994e2f9369512a28 my answer for F7?
