luckily apt-get does not automatically upgrade the kernel. you can do it manually though: apt-cache search kernel-image-2.4.18 and apt-get install the one you want, the most generic version looks like: kernel-image-2.4.18-386 if you have a more modern processor you may want kernel-image-2.4.18-686 or kernel-image-2.4.18-k7 (see the apt-cache results for full info) then follow the instructions, you'll have to modify lilo.conf to add support for initrd, takes only a few seconds, run lilo and reboot. nate (happily running 2.2.19 with no plans to upgrade anytime soon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
