Upgrading to Linux 2.0

[Chuck Noyes]

Hi Linux gurus....

I'm trying to upgrade my Slackware 1.2.1 Linux kernel to the
latest Linux 2.0 and I have a few questions...

According to the read me files, I first need to up-rev my gcc compiler.
I will also need a new binutils. My April 1996 Developers Kit contains
several versions of binutils. Does anyone know what binutils version I
should use if I want to upgrade to 2.7 of the gcc compiler?

Has anyone, who is running Slackware, successfully upgraded to Linux 2.0?
If so, what problems were encountered?  Was it painfull or painless?
Any tips for those of us who are about to try upgrading to Linux 2.0?

Thanks,  Chuck
