Building Fedora Legacy 2.4.20-43.7 for RH7.3 from sources.

["Frank Hamersley" <terabite bigpond com>]

Can anyone point me to a useful howto on building the latest Fedora RH73
legacy kernel from source?

I have installed the src rpm (2.4.20-43.7) and unpacked the .tar.bz2 file.
However I am confused about how to apply the .patch files (as they do not
seem to be applied to the source).

>From the base of the source I have tried ...

   # scripts/patch-kernel . ..

... but it doesn't find any patches to apply!!!!

Can anyone provide enlightenment?  Cheers, Frank.
