But I'm wondering something else now: the ptrace exploit was a severe security flaw, so how comes my 2.4.18bf2.4 does not get upgraded when I apt-get update with the security source in my source-list ? And even why the last ISOs you grab of Woody R01 do not have the right kernel ?

Thanks for all the clear informations, I'll be careful with the initrd thingy :-) Cheers Stephane -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
