If you haven't already, turn on bash_completion (smart tab completion)
by typing 'source /etc/bash_completion' or entering that into a
.bashrc or similar and restarting your bash.
Then do apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.<tab>
By <tab> I mean press the tab key.  That should show you all the
kernel images available under woody (3.0R2).
 

Wow!!!  Where should I have learned about that one?  I've been using 
regular tab completion since I started using LInux but I hadn't known 
about that extension.  I didn't find a man page but I can find out what 
other sources are used by reading the script.

Of course with aptitude some of that is not as necessary but I will be 
trying tab in places where it didn't work before to see where else it works.

Thanks,
