Since you're running Woody, you'll need to find a backported kernel-image for 2.6. Try searching www.backports.org (and look through the list archives in recent weeks; there's been lots of discussion thus). As for custom compilation, see the following: http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html -- Matt Kirchhoff Have you checked the Wiki today? http://wiki.debian.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
