I've been running 2.6 for a while, and yes there are a lot of packages
that rely on kernel headers to compile.

I've kept a 2.4 kernel around in order to compile it, but that is of
cause only a stopgap.

It's bound to get better once 2.6 goes "gold", but it will take time.

Somewhere (I'm not quite sure where) I read a guide, which recomended
installing sanitized kernel-headers into /usr/include/linux or
/usr/src/linux (can't remember the setup), and it does make some
sence, since /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ contains kernel sources.

Another small thing that might be nice to support in the kernel spell
is /proc/config.gz. It's the .config of the running kernel. Could be
nice to be able to choose it, over the kernel.config that sorcery
keeps around (say you trashed a kernel and want to rebuild, starting
from a know good kernel (at least it got you far enough to compile)).
