okay. the following steps assume that linux-2.4.12.tar.gz is located in
/usr/src and that nothing else is in /usr/src. (NOTE: if anything else
is in /usr/src it won't affect anything other than what you see in the
ls command listed below).
# cd /usr/src
# rm -rf linux
# tar xfvz linux-2.4.12.tar.gz
... tons of messages ...
# ls
linux linux-2.4.12.tar.gz
# cd linux
you are now in your linux source directory. try executing whatever
commands you need. from this point on, /usr/src/linux is your source
directory (sometimes referred to as the "source tree").
