It's pretty much the same as building a regular kernel. If you want to
avoid the unstableness, 2.4.0 should be out in a month or so. In the
meantime, grab 2.4.0-test10 (the latest right now) from
ftp.us.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.0-test10.tar.gz

Build as usual - but first read Documentation/Changes. This will point you
towards any subsystems you might need to upgrade (for example, modutils
and e2fs utilities). It will tell you how to check what version you have
and where to get the newer versions.

Other than that, make [whatever]config && make dep && make [b]zImage etc
are the same.

Good luck,
