When on Thu, 16 Nov 2000, TODD WITTER wrote, I replied:

cd /usr/src;ls kernel-source*

to see a list of the kernel source that you have in place. Download
the kernel source for the version you want if you don't see it there.

ln kernel-source<whatever> linux

and now "cd /usr/src/linux" will take you to the source of the kernel
you want.  Then you

make menuconfig
make
make install

etc. as whichever instructions you're using suggest.  When you want
to use another version:  

cd /usr/src;rm linux;ln kernel-source<new_version> linux
