ChangeLog-2.4.7
You don't need this
patch-2.4.7.gz patch-2.4.7.gz.sign
You don't need this unless you want to check the integrity of the file.
If you are using 2.4.2 that came with RH 7.1, then you have my sympathies. You'll have to download the entire kernel 2.4.7 (linux-2.4.7.tar.bz2) which is about 24MB.
If you downloaded 2.4.2 from kernel.org, then just download all the patches from 2.4.3 to 2.4.7, and apply them to the sources iteratively:
cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.2 patch -p1 < /path/to/pathc-2.4.3 patch -p1 < /path/to/pathc-2.4.4 patch -p1 < /path/to/pathc-2.4.5 patch -p1 < /path/to/pathc-2.4.6 patch -p1 < /path/to/pathc-2.4.7
Then compile as usual (kernel-HOWTO if you don't know)

I have downloaded 2.4.7 from kernel.org if anyone needs it.

2.4.8 is out now. And for gods sake, download the diffs, from your local mirror. I suggest kernel.org.in . There is no need to download the entire 22MB file. Use patches, and the patching script in the scripts directory! Bandwidth is fscking expensive.
