RPMs are self documenting. Download the src.rpm for the kernel and install
it. It will install the kernel source, all the additional packages (like
pcmcia) and patches that were used to build the kernel rpm into
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES. It will also install the spec file into
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS. The spec file is essentially the script used to
build the binary rpms.

If you want to build your own kernel rpm, you can add patches or source
to the SOURCES directory, update the spec file with your own script
changes, and rebuild with 'rpm -ba <specfile>'.

See www.rpm.org for more information on the layout of the spec file and
how to build rpms.
