    Hello

    You've posted in the Debian forum so I'm guessing you are trying to create a lightweight Debian system and want to use one of the Debian kernels. You should be able to find an appropriate kernel in the repositories and install it with apt:

    Code:
    apt-get install package_name
    In fact, it should be installed during any of the optional Debian installs, including netinstalls:

    Debian -- Network install from a minimal CD

    You can check the following page for info on customizing the Debian installer and kernel:

    Assuming you're not out to build your own distro from scratch: You can install a very minimal debian quite easily and if required install xorg and a light-weight window manager such as fluxbox or openbox. Personally I prefer this to other minimal distros - though this is the debian section.
