I do;
cd /usr/src
rm linux # remember the LINUX way is to have a symlink here.
mkdir linux-2.2.12
ln -s linux-2.2.12 linux
tar xzf /home/ftp/pub/linux/kernel/v2.2/linux-2.2.12.tar.gz
cd linux
joe Makefile
change the following from,
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 2
SUBLEVEL = 12
EXTRAVERSION =
to;
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 2
SUBLEVEL = 12
EXTRAVERSION = -1
Save the Makefile
cp /usr/src/linux-2.2.11/.config /usr/src/linux/.config
make oldconfig dep clean bzImage
make modules modules_install
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-1
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.2.12-1
