You can run woody with a 2.2 kernel as well (it's still the default kernel for new woody installations) However, some features aren't supported by 2.2 kernels. Furthermore, a recent 2.4 kernel will be faster more stable. So I'd recommend you to install a 2.4 kernel manually after upgrading the system. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
