Note, you could grab the kernel from experimental, if they are up to 2.6.27: Edit sources.list appropriately, and then run sudo apt-get update Next apt-get source the right kernel and then modify your sources.list to use the lenny servers again, or whatever version you are running... This way you'll get debian patches, of course, kernel.org will be fine... That might just be a little quicker, I dunno, but it sounds like you have a good idea on what your doing. > run a local git server what package would I also need to download for > this? Dunno, sorry... Hope that helps a bit Daniel
