kernel 2.4.7 questions



Hello,
I would like to update my kernel and I have tried before and it wouldn't work because of the initrd problem that seems to be rather common. What exactly needs to be done? I have found Howtos for redhat and others but they do not work. Is there a Debian kernel howto? I last tried upgrading the kernel just after 2.4.6 came out and ended up reinstalling everything because nothing worked.


I have a P3 733mHz with an Adaptec 2940u2b scsi and a Matrox G450, the dist that I have is potato 2.2r2 if that helps any.

Another problem I have is updating the packages. I do not have a web connection, so I would have to download everything on to zip from school and bring it home. How can I get apt-get to find the packages on the zip disk?

Thanks in advance,
Matt
