Release Notes - kernel

In the kernel section of the Release Notes, step 4 (quoted below),
tells where to place the file called .config, by copying the desired
file into a directory. I am unable to tell from step 4, exactly WHICH
directory the .config file is supposed to end up in.
For example, if I was working with the source for a 2.6.9 kernel,
should the .config file be in
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9
or
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9
or
where?
I'm sorry to be so dense about this, especially if the answer
turns out to be extremely obvious. Also, I'm sorry I didn't
save an old Red Hat 7.x system on which I built many
kernels, so I would have something to use as a reference.
Thanks for any help.

4. In resulting tree, the configurations for the specific kernels
shipped in Fedora Core 3 are in the /configs/ directory. For
example, the i686 SMP configuration file is named
/configs/kernel-<version>-i686-smp.config. Issue the following
command to place the desired configuration file in the proper place
for building:
cp <desired-file> ./.config
