Holy cow! RedHat's advertising campaign is taking over your system!! :-)
Take a deep breath, relax. First, that redhat subdirectory is created by
alien or rpm -- one of those two. So nothing's wrong there.
The /usr/src/linux "subdir" is only a symbolic link. It points to another
subdirectory named "kernel-source-2.0.36" or something similar (the kernel
version numbers will change). If it doesn't exist, a "ln -s
kernel-source-2.0.36 linux" command executed in /usr/src will recreate it. If
you have no kernel-source* subdirs, then simply use dselect to install
whatever kernel package you want.
