It certainly is not in /usr/src/linux (nautilus & terminal show that
/usr/src is empty - yes, I am showing all hidden/system files), nor
anywhere else I have looked.
I have a default installation of RH 8.0, and through rhupdate, it has
updated the kernel to 2.4.18-19.8.0
I am trying to install patch-o-matic 20030107, and the script prompts me
for the KERNEL_DIR.
This is extremely frustrating, and any help is hugely appreciated!

RH is almost certainly using seperate runtime and source packages for
the kernel. Looking at http://www.rpmfind.net/ I see things like:
kernel-2.4.20-2.6.i686.rpm
kernel-2.4.20-2.6.src.rpm
The first being the compiled kernel and modules, the latter the source
for it. So go find kernel-2.4.18-19.8.0.src.rpm, or even better upgrade
packages to a 2.4.20 kernel the current latest stable release.

If this is a new kernel don’t forget to do a dry run and compile the
kernel prior to running pom

..my "try" line installs RH's kernel source tree.
I just run pom over it and then compile.
(However, kernelmod-0.6.tar.gz'ing from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=44827
needs a built and installed kernel _and_ the tree.)

..2.4.18-19.8.0 is RH's upgraded kernel for RH-8.0, and 2.4.18-19.7.x
for RH-7.3 et al. 2.4.20-2.2 is "RawHide 1.0 Source" which is
RH-talk for development stuff. Read the specfile to see how RH
builds their kernels.
