okay, i looked at the package listings (debian.org/distrib/packages) and couldn't even find a 2.4.17 kernel. what gives? i looked in all 3 categories, stable, testing and unstable, and all i found was 16 and 18?
why would apt-get give me a 2.4.17 kernel patch if i can't even get a 2.4.17 debian kernel? very confused... -rp ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan D.
