Thank you for that Mumia, but I'm not sure why to use a different site,
would apt-get install -t testing kernel-image work? I've looked at their

I think you would do this:
apt-get -t stable install linux-image-2.6.22-4-486
Note, I use apt-pinning for this rather than to set a target release, so
I'm not sure about the "-t stable" part.
You might want to use backports.org because Debian's Etch is frozen in
time, but backports.org has newer software that has been backported to
Etch. Backports.org even contains updated kernels such as 2.6.22.
Do this:
(change your /etc/apt/sources.list)
apt-get update
apt-get -t stable install linux-image-2.6.22-4-486
There will probably be an issue with the signatures; someone else can
help you fix that since I can't remember how I dealt with this on my system.
Good luck.
