[plug] newer kernels the Debian way

[smclevie]

Hi

Linux version: Debian

I am running a 2.4.24 kernel.
I download the 2.6.4 kernel package and unziptar it.
I begin the process of building a 2.6.4 kernel with make menuconfig (from 
within the correct symlinked directory)

Does the configuration that comes up in the first instance take the config 
from 2.4.24??

Assuming 'yes' ... this would mean I could just do the 'make menuconfig' 
and compile it and it would run right???

[It DOESN'T just 'work' if you're wondering ...]

More stumbling around ....

Where's the cliff edge ...

Steve.
