The following method is a slamdunk for Slackware 9.1, and should be
pretty close to what you need for almost any distro.  Combine this
with BoBB's article, "How To Configure a Linux Kernel" in Binary
Revolution 1.2 (http://magazine.binrev.com), and you should be able
to do just about anything you want with Linux.

********************************************************************
1. Login as a regular user.

2. su -

3. cd /usr/src

4. wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.24.tar.bz2

5. tar -xjf linux-2.4.24.tar.bz2

6. ln -s linux-2.4.24 linux

7. cd linux

8. make mrproper

9. make menuconfig

10. make dep

11. make clean

12. make bzImage

13. make modules && make modules_install

14. mv /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz.old

15. cat arch/i386/boot/bzImage > /boot/vmlinuz

16. mv /boot/System.map /boot/System.map.old

17. cp System.map /boot/System.map

18. vi /etc/lilo.conf

	Add the following so you can boot your old kernel:

	image = /boot/vmlinuz.old
	  root = /dev/hda1
	  label = Linux.old
	  read-only

19. lilo

20. reboot
