If you add the edgy repository, won't it upgrade all packages to the unstable 
versions ? I don't want that. Did you do some apt voodoo ?

So, you made debs, that's good. I've tried to make debs of 2.6.17 by 
downloading the sources from here: 

http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/base/linux-image-2.6.17-5-686

Is that a good path to follow ? What I've found is that it needed, to install, 
a newer modutils than the one I have, so I droped that path. How should I 
solve that ? (I really don't want to switch to a fully unstable distro).

Thanks.
