Gary and Scott,
You guys are great !!! I now have kernel-sources, alsa 0.9.4 and best of all I've got sound.
Being an ultra-newbie I really appreciate your help. If it will help any other total newbies, here is what I did after reading Gary and Scott's e-mail.
1. Downloaded kernel-source-2.4.20-19.9.i386.rpm from a mirror site at http://freshmeat.net into a directory that I created for this work.
2. Ran "rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.4.20-19.9.i386.rpm".
3. Then I followed the quick install "Wiki-Wiki" at http://alsa.opensrc.org
4. Now I have sound ;)
Thanks again Gary and Scott. When you're a total newbie lost in the woods, it's great to have someone show you the way. I only hope I can someday learn enough to help anyone. Now back to the linux books.
P.S. Newbies, make sure you've got plenty of pizza and "Jolt" cola. It takes a while to do.

You need the _configured_ kernel source that matches your installed kernel.
Either get the pre-configured kernel source from your red hat cd's or
download and build your own kernel. The file version.h does not exist
unless you've already run 'make config'.
