If U want the kernel form debian, then apt-cache search kernel-source | grep x.x (x.x is the number of kernel), when U are found the latest kernel U want, then reconfigure, rebuild the kernel...U can get aslo the newest kernel form http://www.kernel.org!!!

uncompress the new kernel in /usr/src, then follow tje steps:
ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-U-downloaded /usr/src/linux
cd linux
edit the Makefile line EXTRAVESION = xxxx (something U want)
make clean
make mrproper
make config (xconfig, menu config, oldconfig)
reconfigure the kernel
make clean
*make bzImage
*make modules & make modules_install (if U use modules)
cp /arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/
cp System.map /boot
cp .conf /boot/configure-kernel-xxx
edit lilo
lilo
restart - and use the new kernel

* - U can do it in Debian way, see the KERNEL-HOWTO
P.S. U must have the needed packages, see the KERNEL-HOWTO

   Par: stupid question
   
   Hi,
   I am new to Debian and read the FAQ's and howto's but I do not get one 
   thing.
   I want to install the latest kernel update..how do I accomplish this?
   Is ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get distupgrade but I 
   still have the default bf24 kernel:
   Linux server 2.4.18-bf2.4 #1 Son Apr 14 09:53:28 CEST 2002 i686 unknown
   
   How do I update/upgrade my old kernel to the latest secure kernel with apt?
   This is my /etc/apt/sources.list:
   deb http://www.debian.nl/debian stable main contrib non-free
   deb http://www.debian.nl/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
   deb http://www.debian.nl/debian-security stable/updates main contrib 
   non-free
   
   
   
   I am also trying to use Qmail as mailserver with the softlimit command 
   but I do not know which package provides the softlimit command..
   I tried apt-cache search softlimit but got no match..
   
   Thanks in advance for your help.
   
   Michiel
