I have decided to completely remove Windows from my machine and install Debian. (yay).
Problem: I need a 2.4.x kernel to support my hardware (USB stuff, I also like iptables). I noticed that there is a kernel-image-2.4.18-k7 package, although I'm not sure whether to just d/l the source and use make-kpkg. Anyone have any hints?
Ok, I what I did in the past was to download the kernel-package and install, then grab the source and build my own special one on top. My reasoning was I wanted to make sure I had all the required dependancies first before going for 2.4 although this was several months ago.
