According to their documentation on their website the kernel is supposedly in a directory at /usr/src/linux-2.4 but I tell ya that there is no directory remotely close to that name in /usr/src!

I'm trying to patch my kernel from 2.4.2 up to 2.4.4 (layover at 2.4.3) and the patch cannot find the kernel.

Any ideas and/or suggestions would be most appreciated.

if 7.1 is anything like 7.0, you actually have to install the source code during istallation.

Are you looking for the kernel or the kernel source? If you want the kernel source you can download it from http://www.kernel.org

If you're looking for the actual kernel itself, it's probably in / or in /boot

Yeah the kernel is in /boot. You have to choose to install kernel source when you install the system if you want. It's included in the CD but do not install it by default because it will just taking the space on your HDD.
