Just install modutils from woody and that's all you need. If you are upgrading box with dialup connection you need propably ppp package from woody and if you compile ppp options as a modules, you will need such lines in some file in /etc/modutils dir (I've made file /etc/modutils/ppp for this): alias char-major-108 ppp_generic alias /dev/ppp ppp_generic alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async alias tty-ldisc-14 ppp_synctty alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate Naturally after creating such file you need to run "update-modules" to put changes into /etc/modules.conf. That's all what I needed on my home box (standard Debian 2.2) to have 2.4 kernel working perfectly. -- o------------------o ___ |Leszek Gerwatowski| _/_|_\ o------------------o (o\__/o)=))))))))))))) "Don't fix it if it isn't broken"
