Hey everyone,
I found out that if I upgrade my kernel to 2.1 (right now I'm using
Debian Slink with the 2.0.36 kernel) I can use my HP 3100c scanner. Is
it safe/possible to upgrade my kernel, and if I can, would I get the
kernel source off the debian website or what?
Thanks,

You can download the 2.2 kernel-image, or you can download the
