I was not aware that 2.2.0 has been released yet, the last message i saw
from Linus Torvalds was that he had released 2.2.0pre9 and thought that it
would be the last pre kernel before the actual relase of 2.2.0, that would
not be any earlier than next week as Linus stated he was taking a few days
off.
Anyway to take advantage of it when it comes out, you will of course need to
download linux-2.2.0.tar.gz ( i am presuming it will be called that), place
it somewhere on your system, say /home/ftp/pub/linux and do the following.
cd /usr/src
rm linux ( note this is normaly a symbolic link)
mkdir linux-2.2.0
ln -s linux-2.2.0 linux (replace the sym link)
tar xzf /home/ftp/pub/linux/linux-2.2.0.tar.gz
cd linux
less README
After reading that do;
cd Documentation
less Changes
Compare your system with the details in this file, if you have the
requirements, then;
cd ..
Now do as the README says.
Hope this helps.
