This is how I build it as well.  I don't know if it matters, but I build this
on a Mandrake 7.1 box.  I am going to try
downloading the normal kernel source for 2.2.16 and see if it will compile
using this (since Mandrake's source didn't work).

He who fights with monsters might take care
lest he thereby become a monster.
And if you gaze for long into an abyss,
the abyss gazes also into you.

Beyond Good and Evil
