Hello,
It's quite weird that the Linux source would not be in the three "normal" CDs. Source or not, it's a mainstream part of the distro.
I suppose that you can download it from ftp://194.199.20.114/linux/redhat/9/en/os/i386/SRPMS/kernel-2.4.20-8.src.rpm (found at rpmfind.net) or grab yourself the latest 2.4 kernel at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.22.tar.gz .
If you want to compile the kernel, go for the latest one. You have plenty of config files to use as a basis in the /boot directory. If you need the kernel source to compile a driver, you'll probably be best off compiling the kernel first, and then compiling the driver, which bring us back to downloading the latest kernel.
The bonus of compiling the latest kernel, except for some strange fetish that some of us have for it, is that suddenly some hardware that didn't work before comes to life.
Good luck, Eli
