Upgrading Kernel to 2.4

["John Purser" <jmpurser2@home.com>]

Good Morning,

I installed Woody but the output from uname says that I'm running kernel
2.2.19.  I'd like to upgrade my Kernel to 2.4.  I've run "apt-get
dist-upgrade" but uname still says I'm running 2.2.19.

QUESTIONS:
What kernel is woody supposed to be running?  Did I do something wrong in
the installation?

How do I get to a 2.4 kernel?  Should I download the kernel and install it
(the debian way of course) or is there a good reason not to do this?

Thanks for the help,

John Purser
