Kernel source, on every system that I've seen, is in /usr/src/linux.  This
is usually a symlink to a directory containing a specific version of the
kernel source code, e.g., /usr/src/linux-2.2.16.

RedHat packages up this stuff into two separate RPMs, kernel-source and
kernel-headers.  I don't know if TurboLinux does something similar or not.
