Anders,
You want a package called either k_deflt-2.4.21-166 or k_athlon-2.4.21-166
or
k_smp-2.4.21-166, depending on your architecture (k_athlon for AMD machines, k_smp for multi-CPU machines, and k_deflt for everything else)
Aha. Ok, I presume that I'll want to install the kernel_source package at the same time?
You just did :) The sources are now in /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-166 and yes, since you said you were going to compile a third party driver, you'll need the kernel source. You'll also need to prepare it with cd /usr/src/linux make mrproper make cloneconfig make dep before you compile the driver (after you've rebooted to the new/old kernel)
In any case, I think I'll wait until I have some means of backing this system up.
always a good idea when you do big changes like upgrade a kernel or glibc
