The package contains the kernel boot image (to copy into /boot 
directory) and a lot of modules (to copy into /lib/modules/2.4.19Linux4D 
directory).
However the directory tree into the package is the same as your hard 
disk, so you only have to copy the file from the package, to the same 
directory of your hard disk.

Then you have to add this new kernel to your boot manager (e.g. for lilo 
adding few lines to /etc/lilo.conf and rebooting lilo).

In this way you can add as many kernel as you want, and choose beetween 
them at boot.
