debian version is not the same as kernel version. You are running debian potato, which is version 2.2. the kernel you are running is given by uname -a > which one is it ? do i care ?

The biggest difference I noticed on oldWorlds using the 2.4 kernel, was that the video=ofonly boot argument might need to be changed (removed). Since you're apparently already running 2.4, might as well leave it and just dist-upgrade using apt-get rather than doing a new install. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac: <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | To Have, Give All to All (ACIM) | *----------------------------------------------------------------*
