Hello all
I recently installed debian potato 2.2
and quickly discovered that I would need
to install a 2.4 kernel so that I could
get the computers network card working.
I read through the mailing list archives
and decided to do the following.
1, add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main
2, run apt-get update
3, run apt-get -u dist-upgrade
However when all was finished it seems that only
that only 9 packages were upgraded and none were
newly installed.
The upgraded packages were
(not sure if this is important):
e2fsprogs
makedev
modconf
modutils
ppp
quota
bsdutils
mount
util-linux
But no kernel. I just wondering what I did
wrong. And does anyone have any advice viz
how I can put things right.

apt-get dist-upgrade will not replace your kernel.
Try apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.9-386 [or 586, etc.] to install the
kernel image.
