Trying Again

[Abrasive]

I've had some trouble posting to this group, so I'm trying again with a 
different mail client.
Here's my problem.  I don't know what I'm doing...  But about my other 
problems...
I just installed a fresh copy of Debian 3.0r1, and in order for my hardware 
to work, I need
to upgrade the kernel to a 2.4.x version.
I'm new to Debian, and I don't understand the package system, or installing 
the kernel
the 'Debian Way'
The computer I'm using does not have Internet access yet either.  I can't 
get the NIC to
work.  Although I've been told that the newer kernel supports that card.
SO, which files do I need to download(kernel image, package, etc) that I 
can put on a CD
and copy to the Debian machine.  And then what do I do with those files?
Thanks for the help on my previous questions, and thanks for the help with 
this one...
