I wouldnt do it. You should always install a test kernel seperate from your bootable one. If something should go wrong and it doesnt boot then you can always select your previous kernel via lilo or grub to get back into linux. I have been playing with the 2.4.5 kernel with the Alan Cox patches and I can tell you that its better to stay with the 2.4.3 kernel from Mandrake until they can get the virtual memory and swap pages fixed. Right now the kernel uses too much swap space even when there it plenty of free memory available. Some work has been done on it but its not yet fixed.
