Thanks for your reply. I installed the kernel-smp-devel from the CCRMA 
repositories using synaptic and I got this source installed:
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.13-1.1532_FC4-smp-i686

It doesn't seem to be the CCRMA source and I'm quite sure the only 
repositories I have activated are the CCRMA ones. I tried pointing the 
nvidia installer to this source and it complained of not being able to 
load the module nvidia because of a kernel version mismatch.
