I need new kernel for better wireless lan support
so I download kernel 2.6.1 full source and try to upgrade it
but it get the following errors
make menuconfig

lxdialog/checklist.c1xx: error: xxxx ===> more than 10 lines that complain similar error about lxdialog
make[2]: *** [scripts/lxdialog/checklist.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [menuconfig] Errror22
make *** [menuconfig] Error 2

Anyone know how to upgrade new kernel on Damnsmall
are there any specific thing to do before install new kernel?

Ah, well, If you look around John says that soon he will release a new version of DSL, made with Kernel 2.6.1.

I never said Kernel 2.6.1...
I have read that there are issues with 2.6.x and the kdrive servers.

At least upgrade to kernel 2.4.22 or higher which has less issue with usb bug.
Please upgrade wlan-ng package to lastest one.
I can not figure out how to do it
