Hello! You're right. I suggest the ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/pub/debian/dists/slink/main/disks-i386/2.1.12-1999-1 2-09/resc1440.bin image. There's probably a 2.0 kernel on this, but you can compile an own 2.2 kernel, as I said. Just pay attention that the important drivers aren't compiled as modules (loading from diskette not possible), but directly into the kernel.
