Kernel sources

I"m installing my ATI card in FC4. I'm going off of instructions that i've found. The firs step says that i need my kernel sources which i've got then it says that i've gotta unpack them so i can make links to the file later. My kernel sources that i've got are .src.rpm I've installed them but don't know where they've installed or if they have installed. I've done a rpm -qa |grep kernel to see all the kernel realted packages that i've installed and i've just got the kernel and the devel packages. No Sources.

I just wanted to know where i could find the sources, or a way to find the sources and also, why do i need to make links to it later? I'm going by
THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Thanks for the help
