How can I fix this.

I have a walnut creek 2 disk cd-rom set with slackware version 3.0. I
was able to install it with no trouble. Then I installed a beta copy of
the Pick D3 database. The pick product requires slackware 1.2.13. The
pick install went smoothly until I relinked the kernal. After the relink
the kernal had been changed to a version higher than 1.2.13 and pick
wouldn't run.

What can I do to ensure that the newly compiled kernal remains at level
1.2.13 ?

Thanks in advance.

Never heard of a product, that requires an obsolete kernel.
Best would be to get a more friendly copy of Pick.

Otherwise your only chance is to stay with 1.2.13, i.e. get a copy of these
ancient kernel sources (they should be available still at your favourite
sunsite mirror) and compile that kernel again.
Of course you have no chance to use any of the new hardware driver or new
features.

FYI:
The AP/Linux beta requires things to be in the a.out format. Slackware
3.0 is ELF based. You need an older version of Slackware (2.4) or contact
PICK Systems about the current D3 product (D3/ProPlus). D3 ProPlus should
install on the latest Slackware running a 2.0.x kernel. (FYI,
D3/ProPlus is compose of 2 components, a minilinux and ``D3/Linux'').
D3/ProPlus is a production product (vs a beta) and includes many bug
fixes and enhancements.

As for your question, you need to download the 1.2.13 kernel sources.
(sunsite.unc.edu, tsx-11.mit.edu or other mirrors).
