Sources for Suse8.0

I am having trouble with my Suse 8.0 install. I like to compile my own kernels and need the files that are required for this. When installing I was offered a basic software setup along with what I thought was kernel sources. At least I clicked for the sources to be installed. But afterward I could only find "packages" under /usr/src. I tried to install kernel sources with yast2. I found the k-smp kernel was installed. I found kernel sources under Devel kernel. This installed make gcc etc. But it shows 2.4.18-64GB. as the kernel. Mine is smp. When I did make menuconfig it says ncurses is not installed. Yast 2 shows ncurses is installed. Confused Brian Marr
