Those 3 are all sources! I doubt you want them. If you want the kernel
sources for any reason you will have to get

http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/1/updates/i386/kernel-source-2.4.22-1.2199.4.legacy.nptl.i386.rpm

And I really, really hope you are already running the latest update
kernel and not that old and multiple vulnerable kernel which was the
initial FC1 kernel. Please go to the Fedora Legacy Project site if not
done so already, as Red Hat does not ship any updates for FC1 any longer
since several months, but the FLP does.

The 2 other packages are shipping helpers: kernel-pcmcia is needed if
running PCMCIA / cardbus cards like with notebooks. The kernel-utils RPM
ships things like smartd, cpuspeed and readahead. Use "rpm -qpli
<package-name> to get information and content of a package not installed
so far.
