Hello again everyone, sorry to bug you for your help again.
I am installing a VPN software, however it prompts for the directory where the Kernel is installed. I have no clue where this is. I am using Fedora Core. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot. I read the online manual and help docs for Red hat but there is no reference of this.

It should be located in /usr/src/linux

However, I think you have to install the RPM for the source code to be installed with your distribution (I haven't worked with RedHat since ver 5). I have never worked with Fedora, but I suspect that you will need to get the RPM's for the source and then rpm -iv <source>.rpm

Hope this helps.

Yes you have to get the kernel-source package.

The kernel source will be in /usr/src. /usr/src/linux is a symbolic link to /usr/src/linux-2.6.0 or whatever.
