    No, the kernel-source package is normally not listed as an installed
    package.

    Follow the directions in the RELEASE-NOTES and as root copy the kernel
    source directory to /usr/src and create the linux link, excerpt (edited
    for the 2.6.9 kernel source) below;

    [quoting]
           The kernel source tree will be located in the
           /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-<version> directory. It is common
           practice to move the resulting linux-<version> directory to the
           /usr/src tree; while not strictly necessary, we suggest that you
           do this to match the generally-available documentation.

    # cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9 /usr/src/
    # mv linux-2.6.9 /usr/src/
    # cd /usr/src
    # ln -s ./linux-2.6.9 linux
    [/quoting]

    Then it's a simple matter to issue the 'make' and 'make install'
    commands from where you have the extracted asterisk-1.0.9 package
    located at.
