It should put them in /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-4smp. You can find out exactly
where it's put stuff by doing:

	rpm -ql kernel-source

The alternative solution, of course, is to just download 2.4.18 (or if
you're feeling adventurous, 2.4.19-pre10) from ftp.uk.kernel.org. The
differences between the two are that the RH sources come with some extra
patches that they seemed necessary for sufficient stability and/or
features.
