Can't tell from what you've written, but you might be selling Debian

Many packages depend on others - this is true in other distros too.
apt-get will alert on dependencies, but you might try installing

Ive downloaded 2.4.18 k7 but it wants another couple of packages.
This is turning into Mandrake all over again...

Okay, this was confusing me because I could not tell if you were
running 2.2.x or 2.4.18-bf24. BTW, I have not used a 2.2.x kernel in a
