Thanks to all who offered help on my situation.
To let all know ,
I got kernel-2.4.17-8mdk.rpm and the header and doc rpm's at kernel .org
and did a simple install and FINALLY got it to work just dandy! ;-)
had to do some editing of lilo.conf but now I have both the stock
2.4.3-20 and the 2.4.17-8 kernels to choose from. and all is very well!
The only thing that I doesn't run out of the box on the new kernel is
VMware 2.0.4, but when I find the header files for the 2.4.17 kernel
( If anyone knows where they were put... ) I think they are in
/usr/include , but if so vmware will not compile. but then I do have the
old kernel too.
Anyway ,
Thanks again especially to William Bouterse of Talkeetna, Ak,
who gave me the key to making it work.
Thanks again everyone!!!
Linux on !
