Yes you are correct, i was fogetting, i checked my slack-9.0 cd here and
it has "k" on it but, i burnt the cd from a slackware source directory on
a mirror i was fogetting that sorry for the confustion.

No i thought the asker mentioned he has the other CD with the "k" dir on
it, if thats correct then there is only the following;
kernel-source-2.4.18-noarch-4.tgz so simply use my example to install the
kernel source.

All you need to do is retrive linux-2.4.22.tar.gz (or bz2) from kernel.org
and do the following.

cd /usr/src
rm linux
tar xvzf /path/to/linux-2.4.22.tar.gz
cd linux-2.4.22
make mrproper
make config
make bzImage modules modules_install

Take a look at;
http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/kernel.htm
for the rest of the advise.

Or read the Kernel-HOWTO found in /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs and or the README
in /usr/src/linux-2.4.22

There is no need to create a symlink called linux thesedays however if you
feel the need you can.
