Not to bash the 2.4 upgrade, but it didn't sound like it went all that well
for you. I don't think a newbie could have done what you have done, that
is, without some serious help. Hopefully the upgrades will get better over
time.

Subject: [newbie] 2.4 Kernel
Hi,
Have any of your tried the 2.4 kernel yet? I tried to install and compile
it last night, and had some success. I was able to reboot into the new
kernel, but I had some error messages about loading FAT partitions, turned
out I hadn't built in the VFAT into the kernel or module. I couldn't get my
USB scanner (EPSON Perfection 610) working right away, I have to figure out
what is happening. I was able to get my scanner working sometimes with
2.2.17. My SCSI card needs a new driver (Tekram 315), and I need to d/l a
2.4 based Vortex 1 driver. My Ethernet card was not immediately working. I
had to reselect in DrakConf that I needed the Tulip driver. After that, an
insmod tulip, ifup eth was all I needed to get it working. Other than those
things, KDE came up OK, and nothing else unusual was apparent.
Would any other users care to share their experience so far?
-Kevin
