Okay, your wrong!!!   :-)

The _KERNEL_ source code comes on the main (install) CD for Redhat 7.0
and Redhat 6.2 both.  Most (all?) other source is on a separate CD.

Ralph, I believe you didn't select the kernel source to be installed 
when you installed 6.2.  If you install the source code from RPM it 
will appear in /usr/src.   /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-source-*.rpm
