Look on the first CD, and you will find a file named RELEASE-NOTES.

8.6. Preparing for Kernel Development

Fedora Core 6 does not include the kernel-source package provided by
older versions since only the kernel-devel package is required now to
build external modules. Configured sources are available, as described
in this kernel flavors section.
