   OK, I am using RHv4.0 kernel 2.0.18. I have gotten all of the kernel
   patches 2.0.19 - 2.0.25 and have copied them into my /usr/src directory.
   Whenever I run:

   gzip -cd patch-2.0.XX.gz | patch -p0

   a screen comes up and asks me which file I want to patch. 

When executing the above command, you should be in /usr/src directory,
and there should be an entry `linux' in that directory holding the
kernel source tree that you wish to patch.

My guess is that the latter condition does not hold in your case.
A symbolic link will do.

pjm.
