This particular copy may be getting stale. When you crack open the
linux-2.4.10.tar.{bz2|gz} file, look for the 'CHANGES' file for newer
info. However, the basic concept is the same - there are a bunch of
things that you'll need to do to ensure a smooth transition.
Your distribution vendor may have a means of performing the updates
as well which, by definition, will be vendor-specific. For example,
the util-linux stuff is split among two or more separate RPMs in
Red Hat, because they chose to package it that way. (I'm running SuSE,
which has its own quirks, but was able to auto-upgrade to 7.1, then 7.2).
HTH,
