Small clarification here ... potato or woody are not the names of a particular kernel version. They are names of the Debian releases. You can upgrade the kernel like any other package in your system. > i would like to do a kernel upgrade to 2.4 without having to re-partition > disks etc. can anyone please tell me how this can be done using the ditro > set that i have? Upgrading the kernel has nothing to do with the partitions on your hard disk. You could either use apt to upgrade your kernel, or better still compile it yourself! Just download the kernel sources from http://kernel.org/ and make sure you have the correct utilities as mentioned in the README. Then proceed according to the README. You'll probably end up rendering your system unusable if you are doing it for the first time, but still its a fun thing to do, and will help you learn a lot.
