No. The source for your kernel should be in /usr/src/linux. If not, you
can download it. See the instructions below.

No. The complete source for each kernel is available from ftp.kernel.org
or one of the associated mirrors. Gunzip and untar the binaries in
/usr/src, then follow the instructions in document named README.

questions.
