having probs understanding instructions


Hi all! im trying to install the driver using the method at this site http://acx100.sourceforge.net/wiki/ACX I worked through the installation steps and on the last command I came up with an error. I think it relates to this section of system requirements but I dont understand what im suppose to do. The paragraph reads as:

For RedHat / Fedora, the "kernel-devel" package does not suffice for either of the build methods below and you will need a full kernel source tree. This can be obtained and installed as follows: - Download the kernel .src.rpm file from the Fedora core website - Install it with "rpm -ivh" - Have it unpack the source with "rpmbuild -bp --target i686 /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernelxxx.spec" - Rename the kernel source directory from /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernelxx/linux-2.6.xxx to /usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`

can anyone explain or help me to understand this part. Thanks for the help!!
