[ale] kernel upgrade newbie

[Cade Thacker]

Hi all,
I am feeling rather brave tonight and I am going to try and upgrade my
kernel. I am currently running RH7.2 2.4.7-10 and would like to upgrade to
2.4.16+.

As stated in the subject, I have never upgrade a kernel so I have dug
around but I have not found exactly what I am looking for. RH has an RPM
for 2.4.18 but they say it is for 7.3. Can I use that? Can I just go and
download the kernel from kernel.org or should I use the rpm?

ANY direction is helpful. I am definitly in water over my head(but still
having a blast!)

TIA....
