    WoW! Already 2.6.8.1...! I thought the latest was Nemo's (2.4.21)...
    There's terrible with Linux in Russia... no new CDs you can get...
    Well. Good luck, Topher.

    Recompiling a kernel means using your same kernel sources but with a different configuration. You are simply compiling a new kernel. Remember to copy your .config file over.

    it can not be supported by the other version of kernel
    it is better just to configure it maually

    Well he didn't say what kernel he was upgrading from. I assume it's a 2.6 series, if not he'll have some problems.

    I upgraded from a Slackware 8.1 2.4.18 to 2.6.8.1.

    Well most people would have to do a little more configing upgrading from 2.4 to 2.6.
