2nd, if you want to use kernel that comes with stable, install package kernel-source-2.4.18 and recompile it with highmem enabled. I wouln't recommend package from kernel.org as Debian kernel include some patches and security back-ports. Otherwise you have to stay on latest kernel (if you don't want local kernel exploits) and recompile everytime new kernel gets out. > --- Adam Aube <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > saravanan ganapathy wrote: > > > > > I installed woody on my dual processor,2 GB RAM > > > server.
