I don't think so, but I could be wrong.

I recommend installing the prepackaged version. Woody is stable now,
though it hasn't been "officially" released due to some changes in the
support process. Here's how you can upgrade :
1) edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change 'potato' to 'woody'
2) run "apt-get update"
3) run "apt-get install apt dpkg apt-utils"
4) run "apt-get dist-upgrade"
5) run "apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-386"
6) update your boot loader's (probably lilo) config to boot that
kernel
(I recommend installing grub instead and removing lilo, but that's
just me)
(the 2.4 kernels in the debian packages use an initrd to boot; you
must specify that to your bootloader)
7) add these lines to /etc/modules if they aren't there already
(some stuff like apm and ide-cd were moved out of the kernel and
into modules in the 2.4 package)
apm
usb
mousedev
ide-cd
ide-floppy
parport
parport_pc
