I don't think debian has those, but its easy to build your own. You can download the kernel source, copy /boot/config-<kernel version> to .config in the kernel tree, run make (menu|x)config and change the high memory option to 64G and the run in the top kernel dir make-kpkg --revision <revision> --initrd kernel-image I never made and initrd kernel, but I think that should be the method. Otherwise you can compile the file system for your root partition in instead of a module and drop the --initrd option and skip the whole initrd thing all together. > Thanks, > > Jason > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
