It may sound stupid, but I have no idea which kernel Debian has 
installed.  "bf24" tells me it is 2.4.x, but I don't know what x is. 
I expect there is a way to find out - can anyone help me here?

I can only assume that "initializing" the partition did not in fact 
delete everything.  I did try a Mandrake install when I was getting 
nowhere with drivers for the NIC on Debian.  (At least Mandrake did 
recognise the card...).  Anyway, the drake is all gone, and I suppose 
I can rmdir that little remnant.
