I downloaded 2.4.18-3 (all 5 ISO images - SRPM's included, whatever those are) and burned them. When I did the installation, I chose all the options (GNOME, KDE, development, and whatever the fourth checkbox was). I don't think the sources got installed, as I had to install those -- or at least some part of them -- from the CD by following the instructions in the kernel how-to FAQ. I think the only thing I haven't tried is to run the update agent while booted under the older, but now modified kernel. The "make modules" and "make modules-install" got me around most of the boot time warnings/errors except for a couple that seem to have something to do with fonts or code pages or something. And I was definitely a bit shaky trying to add my newly tweaked kernel to GRUB -- because I made a new kernel with a new name, and I didn't have a .img file to go with my kernel. Near as I can tell, the .img file is an image for a ramdisk that can be loaded at boot time to speed things up, or something similar, but the kernel make process didn't seem to create one of those for me. So long as I don't blow-up my WinXP root, I'll be happy I guess. I think I'm learning as I go. Linux certainly has come a long way since I first tried it WAAAAY back last millennium!
