Perhaps it's because I don't use lilo but prefer loadlin. Compiling a kernel is not a problem, but I only installed the base system and don't want to manual download all the stuff I need to compile the kernel (12 MB kernel sources, egcs, etc...). I want to install add. packages via apt and ISDN, but the ISDN configuration doesn't work and maybe the 2.2.1 kernel fix this problem. But I don't want to download 12 MB kernel sources to find out that the 2.2.1 kernel doesn't fix it. :-) Oliver

Re: Where is kernel 2.2.0?
The kernel-source is available as debs from ftp://ftp.netgod.bnet/linux/v2.2 . I don't know if they are official packages, but at least they're debs. I installed the kernel-image*.deb, but there are many modules missing (vfat, hpfs, hisax,...). If I compile the kernel-source deb, could I compile these missing modules? But I don't like to compile the kernel. Is there a 2.2 kernel-image deb available with hisax and vfat modules?
