I have never built a custom kernel before.  In trying to follow the
instructions under the RedHat Customization Guide I am not getting far. 
It starts out saying to copy the configuration file from
/usr/src/linux-2.4/configs directory to the /usr/src/linux-2.4/.config. 
These directories are not present on my Linux box.  I am currently
running the  2.4.20-29.9 kernel.  Where are the configuation files for
RedHat 9?  Why do they tell you to use directories that aren't present
from a typical installation?  Do I now create those directories?  Okay,
then move the configuation file to the new directories?  First, I must
download and install the source RPMS.  Will this create the missing
directories?   Seems like the instructions should include this.
Also, the SRPMS available for downloading are dated March, 03.  Don't I
need the current sources since I have done all the updates to my system
since installing.  BTW I downloaded the ISO for installing, but did buy
the RedHat subscription service.  Why aren't current sources available? 
Or, does it not matter?  I am missing something here - basic
understanding, I guess.
