Let's go back to my original problem.
Here's my letter:
I upgraded the kernels on all of computers per instructions, which
are provided at the end of the message.
This worked on all but one computer.
I assumed that that computer was upgraded to 2.4, but I discovered
recently that it is still on the 2.2 kernel.
Doing an apt-get dist-upgrade produces no results now. The only
image in the /boot / directory (which is were it should be, right?)
is vmlinuz-2.2.17.
Do I now have manually upgrade it? And if so, how?

Procedures for upgrade:
1. edit sources.list
2. apt-get update
3. apt-get install apt dpkg apt-utils
4. apt-get dist-upgrade
5. apt-get -f install
Now, since then I tried to download the kernel per instructions provided
by dman:
apt-get install kernel-imgage-<version>
In this case, when I type apt-get install kernal-image-2.4.17-386 (the
kernel version on my other computers), I get the following message:
Package kernel-image-2.4.17-386 has no available version, but exists
in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and
never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents
of sources.list
E: Package kernel-image-2.4.17-386 has no installation candidate
Fine, so I typed apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.17 and for whatever
reason it installed kernel-image-2.4.17-bf2.4.
So, how do I get the correct kernel-image? Or what is the correct
title? Perhpas 2.4.19-386?

Will anyone help curtis? I don't know about the 'bf' kernels.
bf = boot floppy
Special kernel flavor compiled for the initial system installation.
It should be quite useful but may not have all the bells and whistle.
Just install normal 2.4 kernel and configure modules to suits your
system.
Good luck.
