ok,   I got the source off the cd and installed the kernel source.

then I complied the kernel   2.2.12   like this...................  (without
understanding most of the commands .. )

# su
# rm -f  /usr/include/linux                  /usr/include/asm
# ln -s  /usr/src/linux/include/linux  /usr/include/linux
# ln -s  /usr/src/linux/include/asm  /usr/include/asm
# cd /usr/src
# tar -xvfz kernel.tgz /usr/src
# cd /usr/src/linux-2.2.12
# make xconfig (if you are working under X)    selected EXIT when the GUI
came up
# make menuconfig or make config               type make dep
# make clean

# make bzImage        when you are using LILO , type make bzlilo instead off
make bzImage

    here I got a error when I done make bzImage.   I don't use lilo for
booting.

# make modules
# make modules_install

(I'm not shouting here.. :-)   IGNORING THE ERROR WITH "MAKE BZIMAGE"  AS I
DON'T KNOW IF
IT is important,  what do I do now???????

apparently,  I need to change the   /etc/lilo.conf  ???    what changes??

phew!

Thanks for any help ...

The documentation says to run ./configure, but I don't know if it matters.

As the documentation says:
   cd /usr/src/linux
   make config
Just accept the default choices.

If you do not have the kernel source installed, it should come along on
the distro. On Redhat you would do a 'rpm -ivh kernel-source-$VERSION',
depending on which version of the kernel comes along.
