Not really something I need to do right now, but how does one upgrade the
kernel if not with dist-upgrade?

Linux version 2.2.17 (herbert@arnor) (gcc version 2.95.2 20000313 (Debian
GNU/Linux)) #1 Sun Jun 25 09:24:41 EST 2000

It says:
auto BOOT_IMAGE=Linux ro root=301
This is even after I added:
append="apm=on"
To /etc/lilo.conf as someone suggested. I also ran lilo after making the
edit as suggested in the config file. I also added apm to /etc/modules. Just
for kicks I tried append="apm=1" and that didn't work, either.
The weird thing is that if I look in the log, it says that apm is turned off
at user's request:
Nov 30 15:47:05 ruth kernel: apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x07 (Driver
version 1.13)
Nov 30 15:47:05 ruth kernel: apm: disabled on user request.
I can't find any reference to apm in init.d or in lilo.conf (except for the
line above).
Thanks!
Jen
