How crazy is it to run 2.4.20 on woody?
Greetings-
I'd like to use kernel 2.4.20 because (apparently) it drives my machine's
built-in sound
ref: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&threadm=20021218232653.45c6eac7.cgrimland%40yahoo.com.lucky.linux.kernel&rnum=6&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26q%3Dgigabyte%2Bga-7vax%2Blinux%2Bsound%26sa%3DN%26tab%3Dwg
But I don't want to upgrade to testing or unstable in general. How crazy
is it to do this? What will I break? (I'm comfortable self-compiling
kernels.)
If I do it, is the best way to download kernel-source-2.4.20.deb and then
do a dpkg -i locally, or should I tweak /etc/apt/sources.list?
Thanks.
