Re: installing Lenny packages in Squeeze

I use a Debian-Live USB and I like to run Lenny because of the

that I cannot install alternate kernels on my live system (otherwise I'd
be able to use a kernel from backports.org).



What you need is Debian Backports www.backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instructions You will find your kernel upgrade there, plus you will need to add linux-firmware for the new kernel, both the kernel and firmware are in the backports.
