This is my first (serious) attempt at fedora. The installation went
fine. I wanted to install ndiswrappers but turns out the kernel source
is not in the default install. The release notes said to issue this
command in order to install the kernel source:
rpm -Uvh kernel-devel[-xen0]-<version>.<arch>.rpm

This is for building out-of-tree kernel modules; it's not the full kernel source.


and I did this:
rpm -Uvh kernel-devel-2.6.11.rpm
However, that didn't work, it said it can't find the file or something
like that. So, my question is, does this file (kernel-devel-2.6.11.rpm)
need to be downloaded,

You can install the kernel-devel package using yum:

# yum install kernel-devel

If you want the full kernel sources, you can get the kernel SRPM from:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/os/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.rpm

or a similar location at your nearest Fedora mirror site.
