Yes, I installed woody, then did a dist-upgrade to sarge, and also
did a apt-get upgrade off the etch cd. I'm running the 2.4.27-2 kernel
right now, The problem is lack of drive space. I think there wasn't
enough room to install the 2.6 kernel, at least without removing the 2.4
kernel first, but that was awhile back.
