---------------------------------------------------
I am currently running 2.0.36 on a hamm machine.  I got the slink
kernel-package and kernel-source packages and installed them, then
configured the kernel and built a new one using make-kpkg.  (You might
not need the slink kernel-package to build 2.0.36 I was just being
prudent).  If you want to keep the old kernel, make a symlink under
/boot such as vmlinuz_old and a section in lilo.config with a label
such as old_linux before you install the new kernel.  See the man
pages and /usr/doc pages for the kernel-package stuff.  Kernel-package
makes it real easy to build and install the new kernel, it also will
set up lilo for you.
