As you removed it earlier, yes. There doesn't seem to be any dependancy
for it. AFAIK it's not necessary for operation, anyway, it's only
necessary if something has to be compiled as it contains all the c header
files.
Your current state is now not very clear. Please provide the following
information:
rpm -qa kernel*
ls -l /boot
ls -l /boot/grub
cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
Besides that I suggest you get a good book on using Linux on the console.
If "Using Linux" by Que is still getting published I suggest that. They
provide a wealth about Linux and the shell and you can use them for years.
I have some rather oldish ones that still provide good value. You have now
three Linux boxes or so if I got it right. You cannot do everything just
"by desktop", you are a "Linux shop" now and you *have* to start learning
about all the nice console tools sooner or later, better sooner ;-)
