I tried real hard to stay out of this. It's not that difficult to do a Debian 
Stable install with the 2.4 kernel. Certainly not worth a few days of going 
in circles. I am not a Linux guru and will never be one. I did install Debian 
Stable with a 2.4 kernel on a low-end desktop to use as a mail server before 
thinking better of that. I scratched the home use mail-server idea after a 
few months, but that's not the point. Installing Debian Stable with 2.4 
kernel would have been simpler than the last few days worth of posting (says 
the guy no longer running Debian Stable for reasons other than the 2.2 
kernel).

I don't think this horse could get any deader.
