If your Linux-Distribution comes with a 2.2.x kernel pre-installed, you can
additionally do a `make install'. If not, not, you still could do so,
but be aware that this might possibly overwrite your old 2.0.36+
kernel which might cause some problems with other parts of your
Linux distribution. Therefor, with an old linux distribution, it
recommended to omit `make install' for the first tests. You will
need to add an additional entry to your /etc/lilo.conf file for
booting your 2.2.x kernel as an alternative to 2.0.x.

Remark on installing kernel image:
==================================
As you are going to use beta test kernel kernels, it is recommended
that you don't install the compiled kernel as your default kernel
image until you are sure that everything works as expected.
I boot the experimental kernels directly from the source tree
(and I load the modules from there as well).
I've just appended the following lines to my /etc/lilo.conf:
(assume the experimental kernel source tree resides in
/home/kernel/linux-ix25)
If your Linux distribution does not support 2.2.x kernels,
it is recommended that you don't install the compiled 2.2.x kernel
as your default kernel image until you are sure that everything works
as expected. You can add additional entries to the /etc/lilo.conf file
in order to allow booting non-standard kernels from a different
location. Please refer to the relevant lilo doc (man pages, doc files,
HOWTOs,..) or refer to an older eftp4linux README file for examples.
Thanks
