Ok, sorry for being clueless, but after spending an hour or more looking at the debian site (I have a *really* slow modem) I found a bunch of kernel packages whose names are: stable 100% kernel-headers-2.0.33_2.0.33-10 stable 100% kernel-headers-2.0.34_2.0.34-4 stable 100% kernel-headers-2.0.35_2.0.35-3 stable 100% kernel-patch-2.0.33-m68k_2.0.33-7 stable 99% kernel-doc-2.1.125_2.1.125-1 stable 99% kernel-doc-2.2.1_2.2.1-1 stable 86% kernel-doc-2.0.35_2.0.35-3 stable 86% kernel-doc-2.0.34-2.0.34-4 stable 86% kernel-doc-2.0.33_2.0.33-10 unstable 67% kernel-patch-2.2.12-sparc_2.2.12-1 frozen 67% kernel-patch-2.2.12-sparc_2.2.12-1 unstable 62% kernel-patch-2.2.14-ide_20000113-2 frozen 62% kernel-patch-2.2.15-ide_20000405-1 unstable 62% kernel-patch-2.2.15-ide_20000405-1 frozen 62% kernel-patch-2.2.14-ide_20000113-2 stable 53% kernel-source-2.0.34_2.0.34-4 unstable 49% kernel-headers-2.2.13_2.2.13-2 unstable 49% kernel-headers-2.2.12_2.2.12-4 unstable 49% kernel-headers-2.2.10_2.2.10-1 frozen 49% kernel-headers-2.2.15_2.2.15pre20-1 None of them say "...sun4cdm". I realize I am looking for sources and not images.... but... the numbers don't match either. I suppose I want kernel-source-2.0.34_2.0.34-4 and kernel_patch-2.2.12-sparc_2.2.12-1. Do I also need another patch to bring the level up to 2.2.15 (for sparc)? If so, where is it? If I install the above kernel-source and kernel-patch, does that include/update the appropriate kernel-headers and/or kernel-doc? I suspect it includes kernel-headers but not kernel-doc? What do the percentages mean? Can I apply kernel-patch-2.2.12-sparc_2.2.12-1 to kernel-source-2.0.34_2.0.34-4? My guess would have been that kernel-patch-2.2.12-sparc_2.2.12-1 should be applied to a 2.2.12 sparc kernel to produce a 2.2.12-1 sparc kernel. I'm all confused. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Hi!
