Well, installing from scrath always give you the option of working out 
your paritioning again, in case you're not using LVM (*is* anyone here 
using LVM?).

Well, if you have unstable (a.k.a. "sid"), then:
	apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.8-<arch>

	where <arch> is like 686, 586tsc, etc...


Good luck. ;)

BTW, I have just used the new Woody Floppies. Unfortunately, they still suck 
just as much as before, but now it actually *says* this in the documentation, 
and that it is being replaced with the debian-installer, which we all knew 
already. However, it looks like there is no default reiserfs support in the 
install kernel, so its still a case of boot strapping via another disk:
	* Install vanilla onto one disk
	* Update kernel (to 2.4.x) and load reiserfs module
	* Parition and format new main disk
	* Copy installation
	* Swap disks, wipe original install disk.
