Any suggestions? sorry... only the link you were already provided by some other reply (http://www.desktop-linux.net/debkernel.htm)... but to keep the old stuff, you have to keep the .config from the old kernel... in my distro is /boot/config-2.6.3-1-386 so, you have to do: cp /boot/config-2.6.3-1-386 /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.3/.config > 3.

How can I tell what version of the kernel > "woody" ships with? good question... usually I look in the website for kernel... I know that sarge keeps on updating the kernel, day after day, but you can always download some older version and install with apt-get. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
