    Yup, I downloaded it yesterday..

    I must say I havn't ran into any trouble yet..

    just a

    cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.21
    cp ../linux-2.4.20/.config .
    make oldconfig
    make menuconfig (just to check out some new stuff)
    make dep && make modules -j4 && make modules_install install
    reboot

    To add the extra bit after the 2.4.21 bit where I have cheesegoduk, Edit the makefile in the kernel source where it says EXTRAVERSION= Just type what you want to appear there.(Thanks to redgore for telling me this)
