sarge, it should work on some level, but I'd like to hear more details.
 

2.2 is not a standard option in Sarge:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache search kernel-image-2.2
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache search kernel-image-2.4 | head -2
kernel-image-2.4.25-1-386 - Linux kernel image for version 2.4.25 on 386.
kernel-image-2.4.25-1-586tsc - Linux kernel image for version 2.4.25 on 
Pentium-Classic.


I'd also love to upgrade to 2.4, but I have not yet been able to figure
out how to get DMA working reliably on my hard drive under the 2.4
series.  I have a couple of additional things I want to try; if those
fail, then I'll start another thread with details on that.
 

best you sort out 2.4,or better. 2.6. You can test 2.6 with the latest 
Knoppix.

I don't recommend 2.6 on Woody, you get to replace half your software 
anyway.
