Actually, the woody kernel (kernel-image-2.4.18-1) appears to be unmaintained and is probably loaded with security holes. It's been almost a year since kernel-image-2.4.18-1 was updated. If you want an up-to-date kernel for woody, I suggest you take a look at http://www.backports.org/ /Andreas Reference: http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2005/01/msg00045.html -- andreas blaafladt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
