Me no see wood; damned trees are in my way! Thanks, Lennart.

I'm downloading
kernel-BOOT-2.4.20-8.i386.rpm
right now.
Sorry for more newbie questions:
- Does each RPM includes kernel .config file? I need to patch the
kernel and compile.
- '-8' suffix. Does it indicate it was compiled 8 times? Or, does
it mean 8 patches were applied? I heard that RedHat applies
kernel patches, in order to vendor lockin.
