make config | make menuconfig | make xconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules (if modular kernel)
make modules_install (if modular kernel)
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.17
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17
cp .config /boot/config-2.4.17
mkinitrd /boot/initrd- # Depending on kernel configuration
Update LILO or GRUB
Reboot into new kernel

8. You are configuring a Linux DHCP server. You have it setup and working (as Linux clients are getting ip addresses from the DHCP server fine) but some Windows 95 clients are not getting ip addresses properly from your DHCP server. What do you need to do?

B. route add -net 255.255.255.255 dev eth0
C. service dhcp restart
