Hi, Thanks for the reply. It surely helped.
Some more clarification : 1. What kernel version does 2.2r5 and 2.2r6 have ? Does any of these have kernel 2.14.7 or above ? Your Question: > First of all, why do you want to upgrade your kernel ? I need it because that is the system requirement given to us by the vendor, this system happens to be a NAS head with xfs filesystem. The client has everything set up on this. And my Client is not around for 2 weeks, so I cannot put this query to him. And Thanks for the kernel upgrade procedure 3. > >>What would be CD image one needs to download to get 2.4.17 > >>kernel for www.debian.org site ? > > You have to grab an unoffical iso image of woody but i dunno > what kernel exactly is it ... > Thanks . Can something be more can be added on this, is it that debian has not released 2.4.17 kernel ?
