Hi,

I think you'll find the source is in /usr/src it'll be a file called
something like 'kernel-source-2.4.20.tar.bz2'

If you don't have the kernel source install you need to type 'apt-get
install kernel-source-2.4.20' (change the version numbers to the one you
want!!)

you need to extract this file:

ie.  'tar -jxvf kernel-source-2.4.20.tar.bz2'

this will extract the source code into a directory called (in this
example) 'kernel-source-2.4.20'

you should then create a sym. link

ie.  'ln -s kernel-source-2.4.20 linux'

you can then change to /usr/src/linux and compile your new kernel!


Bye,

Duncan
