Keith:

Here it is....what do I need to fix on it:

/lib/modules looks like:

I did a fresh install from linux-2.4.0.tar here and used the following
sequence:

>make mrproper
>cp ../.config-2.2.18
>make oldconfig
>make dep
>make bzImage
>make modules
>make modules_install
 
*** Stopped here due to errors***

>cp /vmlinuz /vmlinuz.old
>cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /vmlinuz
>/sbin/lilo

Here is the errors on the latest clean install attempt(almost looks
like a type here with the two // rather than /) :
