the correct location for what purpose?

If you want to populate for compiling a kernel, then install the rpm
(rpm -ivh kernel-source* I think depending on the name.)

Note that redhat has released new kernel source and new kernel -
2.4.3-something. If you want to compile your own, I'd probably start with
the new kernel.
