Thanks I will definitely try that.  

The thing is I have a decent amount of experience with Linux, I have just never compiled the kernel before this last week and I know very little about the Linux kernel.  So now that I understand how to compile the kernel, I think I would like to attempt to get 2.6 in Boothbox.

If I did want to move to 2.6 I am assuming I would have to use GRUB or LILO and scrap the isolinux.cfg along with a few other files?  The question is, is it worth it?  What are the main differences between 2.4 and 2.6?

The bootloader is fine for 2.6 kernels too. I think you should try the latest 2.4 first though..

Main differences: loads of new stuff = bigger size
