You see , currently the networkinging NIC still not in function yet unless I could upgrade kernel to 2.4.25. and then install nvidia driver .
I just downloaded backport's kernel-image-2.4.25-i386 under windows xp and left in "D:",
before installing should  I move  it to "usr/src"by entering " mv   kernel-image-2.4.25-i386 /usr/src"?

or mount the  Vfat partition at first then editing "sources.list" by adding "  deb file:///mnt/backports... "
then"apt-get update",
"apt-get install kernelimage"


or you've got other commands to achieve upgradings.
