You can go to the command line, and run dpkg. If you don't have the pcmcia-modules-*deb yet, have it using apt-get; apt-get -d install pcmcia-modules* (type the exact version number). Then, cd /var/cache/apt/archives dpkg --force-conflicts -i pcmcia-modules* You'd have two conflicting packages, but it would be all right. It would be nice just to purge the kernel-image if you don't really need it; dpkg --purge --force-conflicts --force-depends kernel-image-2.4.17-386 and then reinstall the pcmcia-modules-* again using dpkg. I don't think there are some packages that depend on kernel-image package. Oki
