Is there any way to install a kernel on the hard drive off the install CD-ROMs (without going through the whole Install process)?
Currently, I have the 2.4.18-k6 kernel installed on my hard drive, but it doesn't seem to have ppp enabled (dmesg brings up no mention of ppp). I'm a little surprised, I would've thought a kernel I downloaded as a .deb off debian.org would have ppp enabled, but still... (did I do something wrong during the install, I wonder?) If I want to reach the Internet I currently have to boot the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel off the world's slowest floppy boot disk ;) Plus, floppy booting, it doesn't read Grub's menu.lst so never invokes hdb=ide-scsi that I need for cdrecord, though I assume I could change syslinux.cfg on the floppy: DISPLAY message.txt TIMEOUT 40 PROMPT 1 DEFAULT linux.bin APPEND root=/dev/hdc2 ro by changing the last line to APPEND root=/dev/hdc2 dhb=ide-scsi ro Anyway, back to the CD-ROM, is there any way to use the kernel images on that to just put a vmlinuz-xxx in /boot that I can call with Grub, without going through the Install process again (because last time I did that, I broke things :( Or do I need to do another 5MB download of a .deb from debian.org?
