You're confusing debian versions with kernel versions. Debian woody (3.0) can run on top of a 2.4.x kernel - I do it with 2.4.20, which I had to download by hand from packages.debian.org, but if you're OK with 2.4.18, you can get it with apt-get:
cd /usr/src apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18 bunzip2 kernel-source*bz tar xf kernel-source-2.4.18.tar cd kernel-source-2.4.18 make menuconfig ... make-kpkg kernel_image cd .. dpkg -i ./kernel-image-..... should do it. ap ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] * andrew_perrin (at) unc.edu On Mon, 30 Jun 2003, James wrote: > Hello, > > I need many of the new features in a 2.4 based kernel on my portable. > However, I like the Stable > packages, as I have not had any issues, except my own lack of knowledge > of Debian on a laptop. > > I read that may people are running 2.4.x kernels on their portables.
