The kernel source should be installed under /usr/src/linux-2.2.6 (I'm
assuming CS1.1). There should be a symlink to it called /usr/src/linux.
You can see if the RPM has been installed by typing
"rpm -q kernel-source". You can see what files have been installed (and
where) by typing "rpm -ql kernel-source".

It's possible that the install of the RPMs failed due to a dependancy
error, ie, the kernel-source package depends on other RPM packages. RPM
will tell you if that is the case when you try to install the package.
