memory

[Michael Havens]

That is (like) what I was thinking. I downloaded 2.4.33.7 last night in 
anticipation of having to do the lesser kernel. I also grabed patch-2.4.33 
not knowing if I would need it. 

What information do I need before I compile it and how would I go about 
getting it? (known specs I could remember how to get are listed below) I 
believe I should compile it before an installfest and then bring it in for 
fine tuning.
