	Sorry, this is not a applicable answer. I already have, and am _very_ happy
	with Amanada, as a backup methodology. I just need to know how to get Debian to

	It's my understanding, that ex2fs can do this, but that I may need the 2.4
	kernel to make it work.

	Is this correct? If so, where do I get, an how do I install "the Debian way"
	this version of the kernel on Poatato?
