Hi Andreas, thank you very much for the tip. Following, as you suggested, the instructions in the section 3.8 of the apt-howto I was able to install linux-source-2.6.12 in may sarge system. The next step is to compile a fresh custom kernel. Only a minor question: what version of build-essential you suggest to install: the one in sarge (v 10.1) or the one in etch (11.1)? is it really necessary?
