1. To Compile and install new kernel:
	cd /usr/src/linux-2.4 (linux-2.4 points to kernel source)
	make mrproper
	cp configs/kernel-2.4.22-i686.config .config
	make oldconfig (necessary for certain buggy systems)
	make menuconfig
	make dep
	export CC=gcc32    <--- important step
	make clean
	modify /usr/src/linux-2.4/Makefile for version name (optional)
	make bzImage modules modules_install
	make install
2. Reboot
3. Check for pcmcia startup problems (rm
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.xxx.nptlcustom/pcmcia)
