Hi- Wondering if someone could point me to a how-to on upgrading the kernel using apt? I am running a fresh 9.0 install with kernel 2.4.21-144-default and using the grub boot loader. Having never done a kernel upgrade before, I'm looking for something with max hand-holding and simplicity (if that exists) ;-) Thanks for your help!

OK...I'm game. What is the procedure to update with YOU? For example, if it's available I wanted to update to 2.4.24? Also, I didn't understand the differences between kernel and kernel-sources (which my apt-get dist-upgrade wants to update now). Thanks.
