Once you've downloaded and installed the kernel-source-2.4.18 package, do
the following:
1. Create a symlink from the kernel source tree, called "linux":
bash /usr/src: ln -s kernel-source-2.4.18 linux
2. Copy the configuration file you're using now to the kernel source tree:
bash /usr/src/linux: cp /boot/config-2.4.18-bf2.4 .config
(If you're using another kernel version besides bf2.4, modify the command
accordingly.)
3. In /usr/src/linux do "make oldconfig".
