hmm, let's see...

1: Download
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.0-test3.tar.gz

2: Untar it in /usr/src/linux-2.4.0-test3-pre4

3: Download ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/testing/test4-pre3.gz

4: cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.0-test3-pre4
   gzip -d < test4-pre3.gz | patch -p1

5: ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.0-test3-pre4 /usr/src/linux

6: patch -p1 < low-latency.patch

7: Apply ALSA patches. I know nothing of this. Anyone???

8: make menuconfig

This is the hard part. If you have a ".config" supplied with your
distro then you can copy that to /usr/src/linux and use `make
oldconfig'. Otherwise, this will take quite some time. If in doubt,
enable things - it rarely causes a problem.

9: make dep && make bzImage && make modules

10: make modules_install

11: cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.4.0-test3

12: cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.0-test3

13: Add to /etc/lilo.conf:

image=/boot/bzImage-2.4.0-test3
        label=linux2.4.0
        vga=extended
        root=<copy this from another LILO entry>
        read-only

14: Run `lilo'

15: Add to /etc/fstab:

none /var/shm shm defaults 0 0

16: reboot, select linux2.4.0 at the LILO prompt.

What did I miss????
