When I was installing Debian I saw that the kernel which was included on the
cd-rom was version 2.22. From the website www.kernel.org I saw that version
(the stable version) 2.6.7 is available. But the problem is that I have no
idea how to upgrade my kernel. Can somebody tell me what steps I have to
take to patch my kernel?
