Kernel Upgrade

[Alma J Wetzker]

I am still using a Caldera OL WS 3.1.1 as my main system.  (I like it.)  I am 
thinking it is time to update from the 2.4.13 kernel and hoping it will solve 
the stalls when I watch DVD's.  I ran through the SxS for updating kernels and 
it seems a bit dated.  It refers to 'xconfig' and 'make xconfig' and other 
stuff that doesn't work as root from a prompt.  I expect this to be a FOG 
(Fscking Opportunity for Growth) but I didn't expect it to start so early.

Can some kind soul gently point me to some recent documentation or an entry 
point into this process?  (I remember hearing that some of the config files 
are in weird places or have different names with the Caldera distro.)

I have 2.4.22
Athalon XP 2000
1.5 GB RAM
GA-7ZXE Mainboard (KT133A with AGP)

TIA
