It isn't just "module" building, it is (primarily in my case)
"kernel"
building.
My personal interest in this is as a courseware author and the "kernel
building chapter".
Linux in general has too many needless exceptions. It makes
documentation much more difficult/dense for the writer and the reader.
As an aside, SUSE 9.1 drops the "k_" kernel RPM naming convention and
has adopted the RH naming convention. Hooray for removing trivial
incompatibilities!! Oh wait, here comes kernel-sourcecode. :(

there is installation documentation for fedora?
Absolutely. Take a visit to your local Barnes and Noble, IT training
class, or as Axel Thimm pointed out, do a google search.
