That's a mistake businesses these days make, assuming the
longer you work on a computer project, the better.  There
are two thing one NEVER does: 1) CUI, computing under the
influence, & 2) when over-tired.

 WC> Sometimes I get PO'd because Linux does
 WC> *exactly* what you tell it too

Computers always have, even the IBM-1620 I learned on in
1966.  It was primitive: didn't have an adder circuit,
did arithmetic by table look-up.  Didn't have the DWIM,
Do What I Mean, instruction either.

 WC> I edited menu.lst in /boot/grub
 WC> making one trivial easily corrected error, fixed it.

Grub's a lot more forgiving.  Just make sure there's one
stanza that works which you don't change.

 WC> Now my system boots either kernel 4.4.22 on partitiion 1

2.4.22?

 WC> Now here are my questions, quite posibly stupid.
 WC> Can I copy the 2.6.12 kernel which supports a journaled

 WC> with mkfs.ext3?

Not necessary.  If you've got ext3 support compiled in the
kernel, all you have to do is run tune2fs to start journalling.
Ext3 FS is the SAME as ext2, the only difference is the journal
file.

 WC> Anthing particularly stupid or destructive in what I'm suggesting here?

YES!  Don't copy anything

 WC> Am I correct in assuming the kernel is vmlinuz located /?

/boot
