Yes, but for me was quite confusing that at first installation kernel isnot
a package. So if you install your Debian with boot floppies 2.4.18-bf2.4 you
never get update for this kernel. You must
apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4 or whatever you prefer and after
that update/upgrade work right way.
