    Hi everybody,
    I'm experimenting with the linux kernels, and have so far tried to
    kernels available through apt-get, namely 2.4.27-1-386 (standard with
    the installation in sarge) and 2.6.8-2-686 (running today).

    Is there an easy to understand howto on manually installing a kernel
    from kernel.org etc. for a newbie?

    Are there more kernels available with apt, by adding lines to sources.list?

    Besides that, if anyone have som hints or experinences to share with
    me, I am all ears!

    Thanks in advance, Vegard
