Hi list,

I'm new to the list (and gentoo) but not to linux.

I just started with gentoo, had to use the 2004.2 image since 2004.3 crashed 
at installtime on my machine (thinkpad 600X)...  
I used stage 2. Since then I succesfully installed a lot of apps like KDE and 
such, but my kernel is still a selfmade 2.4 one.  Now I need to get my 
wireless cards working but I'd rather upgrade the kernel first for fear of 
doing things twice (or wrong) due to the changed pcmcia drivers.

I think I correctly upgraded 2004.2 to 2004.3 but how do I check that to make 
sure?  The machine did not do anything spectacular when I made that change, 
is that expected behaviour ?  Now for the fullfillment of the transition to 
2004.3 I need a kernel 2.6, right ?  Can someone point me to the docs that 
detail that step cause I could not find that very well. 
Or do I just somehow get the sources and start compiling ?  
How do I make sure I retain my current kernel as a second boot option if the 
2.6 kernel will not boot ?

Thanks in advance,

Maarten
