I had never hered that this CD´s are not bootable. My first debian CD set workes well. The standard kernel of debian2.2r0 is 2.2.17. The current 2.2r2 could have kernel 2.2.18. And you can use the kernels 2.4.x. It will not be very easy to update to the newst kernel, but i did it with success. The only important thing is to upgrade the packages ppp and modutils from the unstable woody release to get a fine running kernel 2.4.x. And you need to compile this packages from the debian sources (using dpkg-buildpackage), cause woody use another glibc then potato. Mathias
