Get the sources 2.4.1 from a Mirror of www.kernel.org and follow the
kernel-howto from LDP, which is very good. If you don't know about all featuers,
then its likely you will compile more than once ;-)
Just run make xconfig; make dep, make clean, make bzdisk (!) - you can try your
new kerlnel from the floppy, before you install it. Before you run make modules
modules_install.
And you need modutils - package from testing. On my system 2.4.1 runs perfect,

If you do it the way I suggest (and the HOWTO;-), you don't need to be arfaid to
harm the system. And you'll learn a lot of Linux by compiling your own kernel.

Thema:  Potato and kernel 2.4




I was wondering if anyone could provide me with a link
explaining the steps one needs to take to install a 2.4
kernel on a potato system. I suppose that several packages
(e.g. pppd) need to be updated to get a functioning system..



Thanks
