Re: Will 'apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.17' work OK?

At this point I just compile the kernel myself (I have an SMP system), but if there are any SMP versions I'm not seeing, could someone point me to them? Compiling the kernel myself is no big deal, but I'm lazy, and if there's an easier way... :)
Do you know about make-kpkg? It's very easy to tweak kernel parameters
using it.
apt-get install kernel-package. apt-get install
kernel-source-2.2.18
cd /usr/src
tar -xvjf kernel-source-blahblah.bz2
cd kernel-source-blahblah
make-kpkg --config menuconfig
Then it will spit out .deb's for you. This is one of the reasons you
don't see a billion variants on the base kernel package, the -blah
ones are actually patched kernels.
