should I just switch this link to the newer directory here? Does that mean I need to redo make menuconfig or can I just copy a file on top?



Do this:


1) copy the .config file from your current /usr/src/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r10/ directory into the /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r5 directory.

2) move the symlink to point to the new sources.

3) chdir to /usr/src/linux, rerun menuconfig and check your settings

4) do the make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install routine...

5) copy your new kernel image to /boot/, update your bootloader of choice and enjoy

;)
