If your objective this limitted.
Complile kernel using bf2.4 configuration as a base. Move it to boot
floppy and replace it with 2.4.18 one to get updated boot floppy.
Then just make CD using thisboot image and copy of files from existing
CDs using mkisofs. (Use loop back FS for gaining access to old CD
image.)
This is simpler than doing full creation of boot CD. (This trick worked
in potato days. I assume similar now.)
