1. Install the 2.2.4 kernel rather than the 2.2.2 version
2. Uncompress the file you've d/loaded in a temporary folder, rename the
"linux" folder to "linux-2.2.x", then move the whole linux-kernel tree to
/usr/src/
3. delete the link "linux" and make a new one that has "linux-2.2.x" as
target
4. do the following:
cd /usr/include
rm -rf asm linux scsi
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386 asm
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/scsi scsi
make mrproper
5. and then, as usual, make menuconfig, make dep clean zImage (or rather
bzImage) modules modules_install zdisk ................
This is a very safe way, because you keep your old 2.0.36 kernel in case
something goes wrong
