It means you should look at the release notes...
"Fedora Core 4 does not include the kernel-source package provided by older versions. Instead, configured sources are available as described in Section 6.2.2.2, ___Kernel Flavors___. Users that require access to Fedora Core original kernel sources can find them in the kernel .src.rpm package. To create an exploded source tree from this file, perform the following steps:"

A few lines further down the release notes, it says that one of the ways of getting the .src.rpm is:
# up2date --get-source kernel
