I use SuSE. When you install it you have to tell it what you want installed at the selection screen.
The source RPMs are on a seperate disk, I never bought the distro so I can't tell you if it comes with it. You need to find a SuSE FTP mirror and go into the directory on the server and locate the SRPM directory and download the stuff. There is a utility that comes with SuSE that will let you automatically download packages and stuff you just click the 'source' button and it will get the source for the package too.
You can load GCC into your system, find the package utility in the system folder on the X menu and than find GCC and click the install button.

Use yast or whatever to install the kernel source package and the gcc package.
nuff said.
yast is your friend or apt-get if u are debian...

It's also not hard to go to www.kernel.org and download whatever kernel you choose :P

yeah i know its not a problem, but it is really strange, i was expecting GCC and GNU make and everything.
Yast doesn't have it either, really odd.
i guess i'll just download it.
....and GNU make is part of GCC right? (i hope)

No. It's a separate program.

ah gotcha. i'll download make and then compile gcc. wooppee.
also, i find it really funny the make program tells me to make itself with make.

Boostrapping can be a tricky process. If I were you, I would double-check if I can get it all from a package (SuSE does use RPMs, right?).

no, SuSE personal doesn't come with make, because it assumes people who buy personal are too stupid to mess around with sources.

If you've gotten all that, you're probably good to go.
You'll find out what you are missing at the worst moment, when you build fail. :p
