Well, there are several different kernels to choose from. Typing: apt-get install kernel-image will get you a list of possible kernels. You'll want to choose one of the 2.4 kernel based on which processor type you have. If your box is fairly new you'll probably want either kernel-image-2.4.12-686 for intel or kernel-image-2.4.12-k6 for AMD processors. BTW, apt-cache search is a good way to find out about packages. -- Jim Crumley |Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List (TCLUG) crumley at fields.space.umn.edu |Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Ruthless Debian Zealot |http://www.mn-linux.org/ Cookies are tasty! |Free Dmitry Sklyarov - http://faircopyright.org/
