Re: kernel 2.2.2 newbie question



Ok, I want to install kernel 2.2.17. I have done that with 2.2.16 and
I understand that part. I'm confused about the debian way to do
it. Before I just downloaded 2.2.16 from www.kernel.org, untarred it
to /usr/src and compiled it. But, going to www.kernel.org now, there
is no 2.2.17 kernel to download. The only place I find it is on debian
ftp. So do I just execute 'apt-get install kernel-image 2.2.17' then
do the same for kernel-package, after which I go to the /usr/src
directory and compile it as I did with 2.2.16? (After my confusion
over release numbers I would hate to botch this..)

thanks
