You can see other available kernel > versions with > apt-cache search kernel-image Hi Kent: Not the OP, but I'd like to jump in, to clarify something for myself. :) It seems to me, that there is more to installing a binary kernel image, if one is going from the 2.2.x kernel in Woody, to a newer one. Could someone detail the steps, say going from 2.2.x to 2.4.x. I mean, doesn't one have to run lilo, make sure mod tools are installed, etc.? I always get confused on the add such n such a stanza, to one's lilo. It doesn't really say what line to put it on, etc. So speaking for myself, (but I'm sure others would be interested to) it would be nice for someone to list the steps in detail. Apologies if this has been done before, but if it has, I surely can't find it.
