that would be far too complicated to do at the moment. You would probably
have to download close to 600MB. If you are familiar with Debian you can
take that, they do support such things.

you could get the 2.2.6 kernel only if you copied the old distribution
from someone, the distribution now ships with 2.2.17.
The old kernel has quite some bugs and doesn't support sound or ne2K.
