Both the 2.4 and 2.2.18 have been on cooker mirrors for months
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/cookerdevel.php3
Mandrake 7.2 shipped with a 2.4 kernel as an option.
With the 2.4.x kernels, an **edit to 'mandrake_everytime' is
required to keep supermount functioning, as the location of the
'supermount.o' module is different than with 2.2.x kernels. If you
want to keep ipchain's functionality with 2.4.x kernels, you'll need to
compile from Mandrake source, and in the config, turn on "2.2.x style
ipchains support". I've also found it's better to config ReiserFS and
supermount to load as a module, rather than built in. The prebuilt
2.4.x rpms have them already config'd this way with the exception of
legacy ipchains support (the 2.4's use the newer iptables). Also, the
prebuilt doesn't have ppp support enabled in the 2.2.x manner, so it's
necessary to modprode ppp module(s) to enable **it.
