SMP kernel



I did a network install of Potato (2.2r5) on Friday, then updated to testing 
(3.0).  The machine is an HP Vectra XU 6/200 with 128MB RAM.  It has a 
dual-Pentium Pro motherboard, but I only had one processor in at the time of 
install.  Today I added a second PPro200 processor to the machine, so it is 
now SMP.  Is there a way to drop in an SMP kernel (preferably 2.4.17) without 
building my own from scratch?

I'm not against building my own kernel, but if there's a simple way to update 
using apt-get or whatever, I'd like to learn about it.

I've used Linux for nearly 4 years, but this is my first Debian install.  Had 
a spare box and a fast 'net connection, so I figured I'd give it a try.  
Liking it so far, and apt-get is a very neat tool.

Thanks,
