[expert] Mdk 8.0 and trying to compile new kernel?

Wed, 19 Sep 2001 19:45:18 -0700

OK.. I have tried to upgrade my kernel in Mandrake 8.0 about 5 times now, and I just can't get the damn thing to go in correctly.. something always fails, or doesn't work (internet being the main one) and then it's no longer stable.
 
I have done it with 2.4.7 and 2.4.9 and neither works.  Maybe I should be upgrading and not compiling a full new kernel?  Not totally sure what I "need" in the kernel config file (I use make menuconfig, then make dep modules modules_install install)
 
I am running a Celeron 633 with 256MB RAM, ATI 8MB video card, SBLive, Network Everywhere (NC100 v1.0 I believe) Network card.  20GB Hard Drive partitioned 50/50 with Win98SE.
 
I want to run an http server, and possibly a FTP server as well.  I use KDE.
 
Any help on this?  I also want to keep this machine as secure as possible and stable as possible, but would like the newer kernel installed.  Any website pointers will be accepted gladly.
 
Thanks in advance!
