No.  That is why folks use RPM.

Here is a tutorial on installing kernels via RPM:

At this time, my linux machine has no connectivity to the Internet and not able to download the latest RPMs.  I would like to download the kernel 2.4.20-20.9 from the TriLUG FTP site but am confused which folder to select: i386, i586 and i686.  My OS kernel type is i686 and my CPU kernel type is i386.  Also, I'd like to know if I need to compile the kernel 2.4.20-20.9.
