2.4.3 was the latest and greatest back then... :) BTW, 2.4.8 is out.

I never installed a kernel using the woody mirrors yet. Whenever I
upgrade a
package using dselect, it simply unpacks it and configures it. I guess
whether the installation of a kernel package is somewhat different in that it
would require user interactive configuration (in the middle of dselect
activities).
Could you please explain a bit about how would you install and
configure the
kernel this way ?? I mean, how do dpkg operates when the package is a kernel.
