You shouldn't need kernel-source to build kernel modules. You need it in rare cases -- if you want to build modules from the kernel that were not build by rh/fedora. At the moment I'm using it to build the ntfs ;-) and the dvb modules that are missing in the released binary kernel... IIRC the old (~in the 2.4.19 days) nforce drivers also needed the source for their audio-drivers. They patched some files from kernel-source and compiled them again. And didn't the ati radeon/fglrx drivers use the agpgart Source from the Kernel and patched them with some updates and compiled them anew? But both examples are only a "IIRC" and I may be wrong in both... CU thl
