Doing a package search at standard Debian's package search site for the kernel which is currently installed i.e. 2.4.18bf24 shows that the image is only best for installation and after that its best that I get a new kernel to suit the current configuration.
I've found out over the internet that there are basically two ways in which you can plug in a new kernel. A website that contains helpful instructions of compiling/installing a new Debian kernel can be found at http://www.thing.dyndns.org/debian/kerneldeb.htm maintained by a New Zealander (I still cannot find his name anywhere on his page!) One way was to compile your own the kernel obtained from debian using apt-get and grabbing kernel-headers, kernel-source and kernel-package (of course you have to go through the steps outlined in the New Zealander's page). The other way is the easy way which is to get the kernel-image package which is the way I'm going.
At this time of writing the latest from debian is 2.4.18 which is basically the same as the version of the default kernel. However there is a 2.4.18-686 package which is more optimised for Pentium Pro and higher thus its best that I install this.
I got the package by
apt-get install kernel-images-2.4.18-686
It then went on to say that it needs to create a link from /boot/initrd.img-2.4.18-686 to the initrd.img so I responded with Yes. I also answer yes to install a boot block using the existing /etc/lilo.conf.
I then reran lilo (as recommended by the New Zealander's site) and did a reboot. It now has a linuxOLD which I assume is my old kernel. I continued with Linux option at lilo boot screen (the default).
And everything wents well. Bzzzzzzzz...
