a few questions
so my system is back running 2.4.18
someone mentioned reading the documentation for 2.4.20
well, i read the README looked at the Changes file and i didn't find
anything about the new kernel or where the modules are stored.
so i am back to a fresh system
make mrproper
make oldconfig
make dep
make zImage
make modules
make modules install
i assume that is what i need to do

as far as backing up my old vmlinuz file can i just rename it?
how is that done

this all assumes that speakup  and the modifications from wpi are patched
properly which they did the last time.
in adition i compiled alsa-driver-0.9.3 and it appeared to create modules
for individual cards in a sperate directory, do i just copy these into
/lib/modules/2.4.x/kernel/driver/what-goes-here?


thanks for all your help so far.
Jack
