Hello. Nice see that it is possible and thanks for the tip.
Looking at the URL you gave me and the installed versions of my packages I only saw that "Util-linux" was 2.9g but 2.9t was required. Seems like no big deal. I have no problem in compiling and installing programs, but I would like to stay as close to Debian's package-system as I can, instead of installing a lot of self-compiled stuff. This would make things _alot_ easier if the system goes down and I have to re-install everything. I also looked at the "http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/running-kernel-2.2";, and there it suggested taking packages from Potato. But AFAIK Potato-packages uses another version of Perl and I guess there would be quite some conflicts. The other option is to run Potato, since I just need the base and enough tools to compile the 2.2 kernel. But this system _must_ be stable and I fear Potato ain't really there yet. Since stable of Potato most likely is not coming out before February, I think it would be an idea to upgrade Slink to kernel v2.2 and XFree86 v3.3.5 along with the Y2K-updates.
