Re: kernel upgrade to 2.4.18

["Tim Grogan" <timothy.grogan@grocomm.com>]

I'm trying to compile the exact same image on my Athlon 1700 system.  I've been
following this thread with great interest.  I've seen some good pointers from a
lot of folks.  Could someone please just put a dummy list of steps on how to
upgrade a kernel.  I've downloaded about 3 howtos but they are for compiling
kernels manually.  This seems to be another way (easier too) to do the same
thing.  If there already is a howto developed, please let me know.

p.s. for an athlon system do I need a special version of the kernel?
