One more thing concerning 2.4.0 kernels...
I know that the directory structure for the kernel's modules are all
different from previous kernels (WHY!?)...does this mean that if I want to
have multiple kernels on my system (my present working 2.2.17 kernel) along
with 2.4.0, that they are fundamentally incompatible? System.map, and so
forth will point to 2.4.0 which will be totally wrong for 2.2.17. If 2.4.0
doesn't work for me, I am thinking that I will HAVE to bootup with a bootdisk
or go to linux single mode (assuming 2.4.0 kernel works well enough for me to
allow for this) and change the symlinks for System.map to 2.2.17 from 2.4.0
in order to be able to reboot to my 2.2.17 kernel?

Against stupidity, the god's themselves contend in vain.
