I don't think it would be crazy at all. > If I do it, is the best way to download kernel-source-2.4.20.deb and then > do a dpkg -i locally, or should I tweak /etc/apt/sources.list? If you don't want to upgrade anything else, from testing/unstable it would be simplest to download the .deb manually. I Additionally, if you do not normally compile your own kernels, you could just down load and install kernel-image-2.4.20-<arch>.
