How to install/create kernel source directory ....

Please detail us with what you intend to do.

If you want to install a current kernel, you need to download it from kernel.org, untar it in /usr/src, and go about compiling it.

If you are planning to install a 2.6 kernel on a system running 2.4 kernel, there are certain things you need to take care of. you will need to download module-init-tools.

In the light of your other post at

Look for the kernel-source rpms. They should be on the RH9 cds. Install the rpm using
Once this is done, change directory to /usr/src. Create a softlink to your kernel directory
You may need to run a make dep from /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-xxx

thank for your help, i will try ....

i should upgrade my rh 9 (v 2.4.20-8) to higher one and i also have to install exabyte exb 8700 tape dive .... both require me start from kernel source directory

suggest you download the upgraded kernel from RedHat/FedoraLegacy site. The current kernel on RH9 is 2.4.20-31.9.
