You don't need 7.0. I have 6.2 and I have 2.4.x running off and on (off
and on because there is still one known unresolved problem that I'm having
with it and it deals with the AIM service which I suspect has to do with
AOL itself and how it doesn't like packets from this box).

don't forget modules and modules_install (even if you didn't ask for
modules, it might have a few for you anyway).
just do: make dep modules modules_install bzImage (yes, you can string em
all together like this)

Easy. This is a common problem.. but once it's fixed, it's fixed for good
unless you go back to kernel RPMs again :)
set the following soft links as follows:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Apr 21 2000 /usr/include/linux
-> /usr/src/linux/include/linux
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Apr 21 2000 /usr/include/asm
-> /usr/src/linux/include/asm
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux /usr/include/linux
ln -s /usr/include/asm /usr/src/linux/include/asm
make sure /usr/src/linux is soft linked to the kernel that you're either
compiling or that is currently running (in that order.. the latter since
certain things compile against the kernel headers). So you should have
it linked to the 2.4.x kernel's source that you're dealing with (since the
scripts in the kernel source tree reference things as linux and not
linux-2.4.whatever), etc.

Upgrade everything before you even start compiling 2.4.x. Very important
:)

Just go through a 6.2 updates mirror (like you should do weekly anyway so
you don't get rooted while sleeping). No, this isn't what's causing the
make error... as I've already explained. It has to do with the kernel RPMs
that you pulled. The links are in the RPMs... you just have to reset them.
No biggie.

Isn't that, like, from Candide or something? :)
