Xen devel - Apr 2005 - How to simply compile a 2.4.18 custom kernel in the xenU way

Hello,

I am brand new to Xen, i first hear of it 3 days ago, and install it 
yesterday for the first time from the source code.
My aim is to get ride of vmware for some "maquetage" (french word
meaning
modelling a platform before deploying it).
My only problem is that i need to use a custom kernel, an old
2.4.18specific one.
And I am wondering what is the easiest way to generate a xenU kernel from my 
source...

Thanks a lot,
Regards,
Abdelkader

I''m not sure the word "easiest" would apply to any solution
here, but you could try typing "make mkpatches" at the top
level of the Xen sources and backport the resulting patch
against linux-2.4.29 to 2.4.18...
