You should have (if you've installed the kernel sources) /usr/src/linux,
where linux is a soft link(ln -s) to the sources directory (usually in the
same directory e.g. /usr/src/linux ------> /usr/src/linux-2.4.6.7.etc.)
leastways that's the way it is with SuSE  and I believe that is the way it
is with RedHat installations.
