To install an new kernel you need package linux-image-2.6.21*. I cannot find this for Etch at backports.org or anywhere else. (You have probably seen linux-headers-2.6.21*). I think that you will have to build the kernel yourself [1]. It's not too difficult and you can always boot your original kernel from the grub menu if things go wrong. > Do you > think the kernel upgrade would take care of fuse, > and then I'd only need to compile ntfs-3g from source? You have to compile fuse too - see my previous post. I think that you will need to load it as a module in your new kernel. If you have spare HDD space you could install a second Debian Etch system. Then either build and experiment with your new kernel there or upgrade it to Sid (Unstable) where everything you want is available from Apt. Good luck!
