1. Downloaded the 2.4.18 kernel from kernel.org (tarball style, into
/usr/src)
2. Unzipped, then unpacked the tarball
3. Backed up my modules file, just in case
4. Made sure I was in /usr/src/linux-2.4.18 directory
5. Executed #make config and make dep commands
6. Than ran make bzImage
7. Rna #make clean
8. Began looking for a file named bzImage, vmlinuz or z Image
