On this page of Debian website; http://packages.debian.org/en/etch/admin/ there are many linux-image packages. Which one would be suitable for my application? What additional packages do I need. TIA Googling brought me following documents which I suppose would be suitable for me to compile kernel.

Stephen L P.S. after installing the new kernel what shall I do with the old kernel? Whether the new kernel will replace the old kernel automatically during installation removing all un-necessary packages? Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
