Hi folks,

I'm prepared to reconfigure the kernel-2.4.26 of DSL (Damnsmalllinux) 2.2b and need following rpm packages;
kernel-source-2.4.26
kernel-image-2.4.26-smp

I have been googling around and could not find them. Please advice where can I download them. TIA

B.R.

Update your apt and dpkg
then:
#apt-cache search kernel-source
and you just have to choose
