Debian Install Newbie Tips

[Derek Neighbors]

I have a rule to only run stock Debian kernels unless absolutely 
mandatory. Compiling kernels is fun, but if stock one contains what I 
need, I just dont. ;)

Have you tried apt-getting:

kernel-image-2.4.18-686-smp  - Linux kernel image 2.4.18 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV SMP.
