latest kernel

[Gregory Nowak]

The latest seems to be 2.4.9.
You should get the .tar.bz2 files since they're smaller and will download faster.
So, in this case, the file you want is
linux-2.4.9.tar.bz2
. Then, put this into /usr/src,
make sure no other directory with the name of linux exists there,
and do:
tar yxpf linux-2.4.9.tar.bz2
to decompress the kernel tree into /usr/src/linux/
. You then can delete the .tar.bz2 file if you
don't want it anymore.
