> Where to find out howto upgrade kernel in potato 2.2.19 to 2.4.4?  Kinda newbie here, but need i810 support for sys.  tried upgrade to woody but kernel didn't come with.  So reinstalled potato.  Want i810 support for X.  wont run svga but will run vga-crappy graphics!  So could someone tell me how to upgrade to 2.4 kernel and xfree86 4.  Possible apt lines to use.  Only want kernel and x upgrade so sys is somewhat stable.  THANKS TO ANYONE FOR THE HELP!!!    

please adjust your mail client to wrap lines at 76 characters (should be in
the sending/text options of outlook express)

to get kernel 2.4 and xfree 4 add the following lines to you
/etc/apt/sources.list:
-- begin --
# Kernel 2.4
deb http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main
# XFree 4
deb http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ xf402_potato/i386/ 
-- end --

then do an apt-get update and an apt-get upgrade. to install the kernel you
can use apt-get install kernel-image<version>.

yours martin
