Kernel-package seems to be in the project/experimental directory of the
archive. I don't know why...

I see everyone wants to know. Yes, I will include the Linux 2.0 kernel in the
latest boot disk set, which will be uploaded this evening. I also have a
kernel-image package, although I am not the official kernel maintainer.
Thanks

Probably you're still running the 1.2.13 kernel, but the new
traceroute uses some features only in 1.3... at least that's why I see

Yes, Debian 1.1 will ship with a 2.0 kernel.
(In fact, the latest available kernel will generally be made available
as the kernel-image-2.0.xx-0.deb).

Hi,
I want to upgrade my debian 1.0 to 1.1.
I have installed the new dpkg (1.2.3 elf)
then followed the steps in dselect.
then dselect failed in the Install step with the following error:
