The error was in installing udev_0.068-2_i386.deb -- it complained that itneeded a kernel >= 2.6.12 to install, and promptly quit.I am not if it helps but kernel-image packages are now linux-imageYeah, which is WEIRD. but ok.
kernel-image was renamed to linux-image because GNU Hurd support is being added, and it makes sense to have separate names for the kernel you want.
