please adjust your mail client to wrap lines at 76 characters (should be in
the sending/text options of outlook express)

to get kernel 2.4 and xfree 4 add the following lines to you
/etc/apt/sources.list:
-- begin --
# Kernel 2.4
deb http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main
# XFree 4
deb http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ xf402_potato/i386/ 
-- end --

then do an apt-get update and an apt-get upgrade. to install the kernel you
can use apt-get install kernel-image<version>.

yours martin
