I do not know the answer to this as I haven't really used woody yet. But, the stuff you need to make it work smoothly on a potato box can be found starting from here: http://www.debian.org/News/2001/20010415 Fwiw, I had no problems at all using a 2.4 kernel on a regular potato box without the updates mentioned at that link, the only exception was that the old version of modprobe couldn't load any 2.4 modules. So you could: a) update to the modutils package included in the updates above; b) build all your drivers statically into the kernel, thereby not needing modutils; c) write some 'insmod' lines into your scripts to load modules, the old insmod still works fine (and is what I did). HTH.
