* YH <yh@paradise.net.nz> [04-12-30 20:45]:Thanks all for the help. How can I type the "uname -r" and get "2.2.20-idepci"? I really didn't know what that means as I am only aware of most distributions use the kernel 2.4.x or 2.6.x? Any explain please?You need to type "bf24" at the boot prompt when installing woody. This will take the 2.4.18-bf24 kernel. Guess you didn't and so it was installed with the old 2.2.X kernel :-/ grZ Dani
No need to reinstall if you want that 2.4.18 kernel -- doing an `apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4` will give exactly that kernel If you want a newer kernel than 2.4.18, you'll have to build it yourself or get it from some backports site; As woody is a bit dated trying 2.6.x would probably get you into more problems (missing packages and stuff) than using a 2.4.x kernel, I think
