I understand all of the instructions exccept for Step 3, delete link linux. I do not know how to delete it. I guess you could work without changing that link, but that would oblige you to type again and again "linux-2.2.4" while setting up the new kernel. If
the link points to the directory tree of the new kernel, you can type just "linux", which is a bit shorter. AND there may be some programs that refer to the kernel files with "linux". Well, I changed the link by deleting it ("rm linux") and then making a new one by typing "ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.2.4 linux" at the command prompt (in the /usr/src directory, of course). There must be a better way (just changing the target, without deleting the link), but I'm kind of a newbie too (others helped me with upgrading to 2.2.4). You may want to verify first under KDE or with "ls" what are exactly the contents of your /usr/src directory.
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
