CentOS docs - Apr 2020 - I Need to Build a Custom Kernel - missing step

Hi,

I was trying to build a custom kernel following the steps defined at
https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel. It seems to me that:
1. Step 4 should precede step 2
2. At the beginning of the current step two you should execute:
rpmbuild -bp kernel.spec (otherwise no kernel-related directory will
exist in `/rpmbuild/BUILD/).

As stated in "step 1. Build preparations", users are supposed to
follow the instructions in "Section 2 of I Need the Kernel Source".
Running "rpmbuild -bp kernel.spec" is included in there.

Could you explain why step 4 should precede step 2?

I must have completely missed it. My bad and thanks for pointing it out!

It was my mistake - I completely forgot about reference to section 2
of I need the Kernel source.
