thank you very much, i am under sever pressure to get this server up and going but it has to be a linux box and i have never used Linux before in my life!!!!!!!!

where do i get the Kernel Source? it is a red hat 5.0 Enterprise box

the reason i need this is because i cant connect to my SAN from this server

If you have an official redhat enterprise, it should be on the disks. If it is not on the disks go online to redhat.com register your product (if you haven done so yet) and login
go to downloads and look there.

see this link about fedora to see how to install packages

fedora is the free version of redhat (but not supported by hp that's why you got redhat enterprise)
the tool will ask for the disk
