the only change will be instead of tar xfzC [kernel-source].tar.gz
....you'll be doing 'rpm -Uvh' on the 2.4 Mandrake kernel*rpms.
Then start from:
"If you have already built a kernel from these sources, run make
mrproper to remove old cruft from previous builds......."
Don't forget to enable "2.2 style ipchains" if you need a
firewall and don't intend to use 2.4's new iptables.
I also urge you to do the Makefile edits as instructed.
If you intend to keep supermount, you'll need to do the
mandrake_everytime edit for supermount.o
supermount _must_ be loaded as a module, if you use ReiserFS I
suggest you also make it a module also.
