The actual kernel is in the file linux-2.6.11.tar.bz2 . From the contents of the directory, you would need to extract the kernel to "/usr/src/linux/" and apply the "linux-2.6.11-*" patches before you run the configuration (I use make xconfig). I assume that since redhat included the patches into the src package, you would need to apply them to the src. James
