Re: update packages without confusing apt
If you are just in the process of upgrading the kernel to 2.4 (which is
still in pre-test version btw),
I would advice you to get the kernel sources (from the unstable source
dist),
make your own kernel fitted to your needs (make menuconfig)
and build a custom kernel package (make-kpkg -rev Custom.1 kernel_image)
you can install (dpkg -i kernel-image-2.2.4_Custom.1_i386.deb).
Finally mark this package as to keep the current version, so it doesnt get
upgraded/downgraded.
