1. emerge the new version...
| Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge --update sys-kernel/gentoo-sources |
2. make sure the link is pointing at the right place...
| Code: | | ls -l /usr/src/linux |
Make sure the file 'linux' is pointing at the new version (linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r6)
3. build and install the kernel (process is described in the install guide http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml)
4. reboot
Hope this is right. |

| Just copy the .config file from -r5 to -r6 then you should proberly still do a "make menuconfig" to see if there is any more options or things you wish to change. |
