[ILUG] Downgrading from 2.6 to 2.4

[Robert Kiely]

On Gentoo you install the sources and build them yourself. Initially I
started with 2.6. The machine never had 2.4 on it to begin with. I
think I'll take your advice and wipe it though cause I've only just
installed and it's a very minimal install... Thanks
