A default 2.2.x kernel for potato?

["Craig McPherson" <craig@laceyonline.com>]

I'm currently using slink with the default kernel, and am currently 
downloading packages to update to potato, and I was wondering if 
there is a default kernel for potato like there's a default 2.0.36 kernel 
for slink.  I tried the "linux" kernel from the potato/main/disks 
directory, but it seems to be a 2.0.36 kernel identical to the kernel 
from the slink disks directory.

If I just upgrade all my base & recommended packages to the new 
versions from the unstable/main directory of an FTP mirror, while 
still using a 2.0.36 kernel, will the system run, or do some of the 
upgraded packages need to run under 2.2.x?

Also, now that I've updated my package list with packages from the 
unstable directory, the conflict manager seems to want to remove 
the "kbd" package... it conflicts with another console-manager 
package, and whenever I try to disable that package, the conflict 
manager re-enables it and enables kbd.  Does this new console 
manager replace kbd?  I ask because kbd is in the Base section, 
and dpkg install generates a polite warning telling me that kbd 
shouldn't be removed unless I'm absolutely sure what I'm doing, 
which, of course, I'm not.

Thanks for any help.
