I run unstable here at home just for fun, but at work I wanted to upgrade the kernel to 2.4.2. with a potato setup. I've used debian for many years but, as I don't work in the computer field, my skills are pretty rudimentary. So I was looking for some excellent advice. I used your web site Adrian and it worked like a breeze, with nary a hiccup. Thanks for you help, and I highly recommend your help to others. -- Gary Dolan Debian GNU/Linux 2.2, Kernel 2.4.2 FreeBSD 4.2
