Earlier, I had problems installing Debian on my system because of the Realtek 8139 ethernet device on my desktop's motherboard. I got round that problem by building my own boot floppy with a newer kernel on it. What I want to do is to install the system using this, and then, before rebooting it, upgrade the kernel, so that I have a system that can see the network. However, when I use 'dpkg -l' to list the packages, the kernel is not listed as one of them. How exactly do I upgrade the kernel on my system using a newer kernel .deb package file? I want to install using the 2.4.18-bf2.4 floppies, and then upgrade to 2.4.20.
