You don't have to upgrade your whole distribution to do this...just replace the kernel file on the floppy (the file named linux) and the modules in modules.lrp. You can even cheat and start with the files from a Dachstein relese (just make a Dachstein floppy, and copy the linux and modules.lrp from it to your existing firewall). You can (and should!) even save your old system if for some reason the new kernel doesn't work properly...use the "backupdisk" script on Dachstein/Eigerstein, winimage, or dd to make clean diskcopies of the 1680K disks.
