Here is how I do it:
1. su root
2. cd /usr/src
3. rm the symlink named "linux" it points to the old
kernel source.
4. extract new kernel to /usr/src
5. cd /usr/src
6. mv linux linux-2.4.0-test9
7. ln -s linux-2.4.0-test9
OK, what does the beginning of your message about having to have an
updated kernel to recognize your modem mean? What type of modem to you have?
I am beginning to try to configure a USR3com 56K faxmodem, ISA, PnP, no
jumpers. I'm wondering if what you've said about needing a new kernel
After a four month war to get linux installed and running, I found that I needed a 2.3
or higher kernel to recognize my modem. I've extracted and configured the 2.4.0-test9
kernel, and I'm now attempting to compile it. I have had to change the links in some
of the included files to direct it
