This person will be talking about the kernel-source rpm though right?

Well what machine are you building your custom kernel for? is it an
i386, i586, i686, an athalon? uname -r on that machine will answer
that question.
Do you have an smp machine? ie. do you have more than 1 processor,
if so youll want the smp version of the config file.
So youll copy
/usr/src/linux/configs/kernel-config-2.2.19-`uname -r`(-smp if its a
multiprocessor machine).config to /usr/src/linux/.config
What is required next is to be found in the Documentation directory.
