If you don't want to build your own kernel, http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel has links to a repository you can include in your sources.list. It seems that 2.6.27 hasn't been packaged yet, but 2.6.27-rc9 is available and should be very close. Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
