Hi, here´s some answers :) >(1) updated the kernel to (official release 2.2.14) which >packages do I need ?
Well, to start off with, you can dowload the kernel-source2.2.14.tgz from http://www.kernel.org/ Once you have this file, place into /usr/src and with "tar zxvf kernel-source2.2.14.tgz" you will extract all the files into a folder called kernel-source2.2.14. You need to go into that directory, execute "make menuconfig" and configure your new kernel. Once you have configured it, execute "make dep" then "make clean" then "make zImage" then "make modules" and finally "make modules_install". If while making the zImage part, it says that its to big, then try "make bzImage" followed by the make modules and make modules_install command. Once all has finished, you need to go into /usr/src/kernel-source2.2.14/arch/i386/boot and copy the zImage file to the /boot directory. Once done, cd to / and do "ln -s /boot/zImage kernel2.2.14". Then you need to go into /etc and edit lilo.conf. You will see at the bottom: image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only All you need to do is put almost the same 3 lines above this, having the following : image=/kernel2.2.14 label=Linux read-only image=/vmlinuz label=Linux.old read-only And once you have completed this part, save the config, and execute "lilo" it will show the following: Added: Linux * Linux.old (* being the default to execute at boot time.) Now you can reboot the system, and it will boot your new kernel. IF it goes wrong, and get a nice kernel panic :) then all you need to when booting the computer is type Linux.old at the LILO: boot prompt >(2) I can't found the KDE packages in .deb format at ftp.us.debian.org, >does the KDE supported by debian? Nope, unfortunatly the KDE packages a re not in the debian distribution, so you would have to download these packages manually from http://www.kde.org If you have any questions or problems, I`m open !
