Sorry about the dual posts. I came across the below article (extract)
op. But now that I'm catching up, I have a question for Gianfranco: is there some reason that you couldn't just use the Debian kernel packages? I've had pretty good luck just doing 'apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18' and being on my merry way -- it handles the necessary libraries and other dependencies, including modifying your lilo.conf automagically if you want.
The previous posts deal with this guy installing yellow dog on a laptop with a radeon 7500, he seems to be suggesting that the way to update Xfree under debian is to apt-get and install a more recent kernel (would this be the unstable distro?).
Are my assumptions correct, is this a good idea, is there another way.
Regards
Mick
PS day off today .... merrily wading into debian and steepening the learning curve.
