Hi all
Well I did it and for someone as new to linux as me I am positively
beeming ;-)
And for all the others who had a problem out there this is what you do
1 # cd /usr/src
2 #rm linux (it is a symbolic link pointing at the current kernel)
3 #tar -xvzf linux-<blah>.tar.gz
4 #mv linux linux-2.4.3
5 #ln -s linux-2.4.3 linux
6 #ln /usr/src/linux/include/linux /usr/include (mandrake does not put
this in by itself)
7 #cd linux
8 #make menuconfig (or what you prefer)
9 #make dep;make clean;make baImage;make modules;make modules_install
10 when this is finished prepare your /boot first
11 #cd /boot/
12 #rm System.map
13 mv /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.3-1
14 #ln -s System.map-2.4.3-1 System.map
15 #mv /isr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.3-1
16 #ln -s vmlinuz-2.4.3-1 vmlinuz-2
17now comes the important part you must tell the kernel where you put
the modules of the new kernel so edit /etc/modules.conf to look exactly
and I mean EXACTLY like mine
------

---------
18 now just configure lilo and point it at vmlinuz-2 (for some reason it
must be a symbolic link)
19Reboot and ENJOY
20 Mail me and tell me how much you love me if this works ;-)
