Your best bet is to compile your own kernel. I'm not clear what you refer to (and you didn't give a link, and I won't go hunting for it), but I guess what it meant that Debian won't upgrade the kernel to a new version because the kernel API must stay the same within stable. If this would not be the case, people using vendor-provided modules (nvidia or promise or other hardware drivers) would have their hardware suddenly stop working. OTOH, those security fixes that *can* be backported to old kernels are, the security teams's time permitting (they are volounteers like all other Debian developers are). cheers -- vbi -- pub 1024D/92082481 2002-02-22 Adrian von Bidder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Key fingerprint = EFE3 96F4 18F5 8D65 8494 28FC 1438 5168 9208 2481
