you can su to root then issued the following command:
cd /usr/src/linux
make xconfigurator
then you can configure what you want to include and exclude. once you have
done that then you can:
make deps
make bzImage
make modules
before you install the modules. you should backup your /lib/modules/2.2.xx
to /lib/modules/2.2.xx.old
make modules_install
then copy your bzImage to the /boot directory and also your system.map.
If you want the 2.4 kernel. It's in www.mandrakeuser.org you can find it
in there. There is also a readme text that you can follow direction from
there.
