Re: [PLUG] iomega REV drive on Debian

["K.S. Bhaskar" <bhaskar@bhaskars.com>]

Installing a 2.6 kernel should be pretry straightforward.  Depending
on your CPU, you should be able to do something like the following
(which assumes a k7 CPU):

apt-get install kernel-image-2.6-k7 kernel-headers-2.6-k7

Reboot and you should be able to run the Stable 2.6 kernel.
