David,

If you get the latest MOL sources tar.gz, you can quite easily build
it against your 2.4.2 sources. It's pretty straightforward. Do you
have the kernel sources in /usr/src/ ?

If so, just download the mol tar.gz

tar zxvf mol-0.9.58.tgz
cd mol-0.9.58/
make
su
<password>
make install

If there are errors during 'make' it may be you need some more
developer tools. MOL sources shouldn't have any problems building off of
2.4.2 sources though.
