Place a copy of linux-2.2.x.tar.gz in /usr/src
cd /usr/src
rm linux # remove the symbolic link.
mkdir linux-2.2.x # Where x is your version number.
ln -s linux-2.2.x linux # create a new symlink.
tar xzf linux-2.2.x.tar.gz
cd linux
less README # After reading do;
cd Documentation
less Changes # Check that your presant Slackware system
# can handel 2.2.x kernels, there is a long
# list of things to check.
If your system can handel 2.2.x then;
cd /usr/src/linux
Follow the README for the compile.
cp the image as per README.
make modules modules_install # if modules have been defined.
edit /etc/lilo.conf and add a new entry for the new kernel
issue the command '/sbin/lilo'
reboot.
hitting the tab key at the LILO prompt will show kernel choises.
You could on the other hand read /usr/doc/*/Kernel-HOWTO first.
