redhat 9.0 howto

[Kirk Reiser]

The simple and proper answer to your request is to get a copy of the
2.4.20 linux kernel tarball from ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/v2.4.  Then
get a copy of the checkout script from www.linux-speakup.org in the
downloads area and read the readme.cvs file found there as well.  You
will need to unpack the linux tarball into /usr/src and then make a
synlink to the linux-2.4.20 directory from linux.  You should read the
readme file in the linux directory and follow those instructions
carefully after running the checkout script to patch your kernel.

Here is a basic list of steps

cd /usr/src
download linux-2.4.20.tar.gz
download the checkout script
make it executable
chmod 775 checkout
un-tar the kernel
tar zxf linux-2.4.20.tar.gz
make a symlink
ln -s linux-2.4.20 linux
run the checkout script
./checkout
cd linux
make mrproper
make config
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
su
make modules_install
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /vmlinuz
cp System.map /System.map
lilo
shutdown -r now

You really need to read the various instructions before doing all
  these things.  You've been warned!
