Re: apt, dpkg and kernel packages - SOLVED

["Colin Martin" <colin@electriciq.net>]

Hi there,

I'd just like to say that thanks to the helpful and speedy replies to my

machines.

Another victory for moving away from the Red Hat RPM system.

(Yes, I am a recent adopter of Debian)

Thanks again.

Colin
