To install packages through internet: Include debian mirrors in your /etc/apt/sources.list. See man sources.list for details about this. Then: # apt-get update # apt-get install [package_name] To upgrade your kernel: # apt-get install kernel-image-[version] If you are upgrading from 2.2.x kernel to 2.4.x, you will need to configure lilo or grub to use initrd-img. After you apt-get update, "apt-cache showpkg kernel-image" will tell you what kernel-images are available. -- Jerome
