If it's your first time following the book, chances are that you did
get confused (a lot of people do, including me). The idea is that you
have the /sources directory with all the tarballs and patches. When
you start a section, the commands on the page expect that you've
unpacked the associated tarball and entered the source tree. The
commands shouldn't need to be adjusted if you're in the right
location.

I should also mention that using /sources isn't strictly necessary.
But, if it's your first time, I would suggest just following the book
since it is known to work. You can always tweak things to your liking
the next time around.
