Do you have all the "devel" packages installed? If not, do
so first. Then, copy the source for the new kernel
(assuming you're doing an upgrade) to a new directory under
/usr/src/<kernel-version>. Then, go in there (as root) and
type make mrproper, then make menuconfig, followed by the
rest of the stuff (sorry, I forget what all you need to do
here... only done it a couple times...) Finally, you will
(almost) certainly have to copy the new kernel from
/usr/src/kernel-<version>/arch/i386/ to /boot as well as
copying/moving the System.map file from
/usr/src/kernel-<version>/ to /boot. Then, edit your
/etc/lilo.conf and type /usr/sbin/lilo and you should be
ready to reboot and load the new kernel.
