Re: FC2 and ATI 3.9.0

The proper location for kernel headers is /lib/modules/$(uname -r)

With the FC2 kernel rpms you only need the kernel .rpm if you are only
building modules.  E.g I build VMWare modules and I only have
kernel-2.6.5-1.358 installed.  The 2.6 build system should not need the
stuff in the source .rpm in order to just build a module.

I hope that was clear: I need sleep.
