If anybody has deb packages or ides how to get these working, under

OK,
It took me a few days, but, I decided to experiment with kernel
building on a separate system
for now. These steps work until I enter in:
'mak,e menuconfig'
which give me this error:
You must have Ncurses installed in order to use 'make menuconfig'
Numerous attempts to find the *.deb package that has the libcurses,
ncurses or curses
stuff, have resulted in several additional packages containing
*curses* but nothing corrects
this error?
Ideas?

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.

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. Is
there a (semi) stable release
of Debian 2.4, that I can run on a portable?
I have a Prostar P-IV running at 2GHz....
I have not tried to fix these 2.2 problems:
/dev/dsp device not found and not working i.e. no sound. (I
prefer Alsa)
CD/DVD anything as the native deb install does not allow
much of
anything to work
I install with floppies....
Could a portable boot 2 kernels (2.2.a and 2.4) from lilo without
having
the installed packages wig out?
This way I can test everything on the same portable BEFORE making a
permanent commitment to 2.4.
Is 2.4.x near a formal release for Debian?
I really do not want to install everthing twice, but, if I have to I
could do this and test all that is critical
on 2.4, before deleteing the 2.2 kernel and packages? Suggestions and
pointers to a howto?
Actually, this is hopefully answered somewhere(in a howto) ????
I also want to add xawtv and many other MPEG4 packages, but, they only
seem to run on a 2.4 kernel.
Ideas and suggestions are most welcome!
James
