Sorry about the dumb question, but..  How do I rebuild the kernel?

I have the bin08, etc08, and src08 distributions, which appear to
include some of the kernel sources (somewhere?).  I even found the
GENERICISA config file, and ran config to create my own.  It's when I
ran make, that I discovered I didn't have param.h.

I found a param.h in the source tree at agate, and I presume that's the
one.  But how much of that source tree should I ftp?  And is there a
tarred version of it, so that I don't miss anything?

I've seen the remark about there being no stupid questions, only
dumb ones (whatever).  Thanks to anyone who can make me less dumb.
Now if I can only find someone who can make me more beautiful..
