Well, the problem is, I need the pcmcia_cs.o module for my laptop NIC. The only package that includes that is the pcmcia-modules-2.4.18-bf2.4 package, which, as its name implies, requires the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel. Unfortunately, the bf2.4 kernel, being an installation kernel, is pretty bloated. So I want to recompile and reinstall the package 2.4.18-bf2.4, instead of recompiling both 2.4.18-bf2.4 and all the modules for cs-modules. Am I nuts for doing this?
