I run unstable here at home just for fun, but at work I wanted to
upgrade the kernel to 2.4.2. with a potato setup. I've used debian for
many years but, as I don't work in the computer field, my skills are
pretty rudimentary. So I was looking for some excellent advice. I used
your web site Adrian and it worked like a breeze, with nary a
hiccup. Thanks for you help, and I highly recommend your help to
others.
