Re: SMP kernel

[Nick Hastings <hastings@physics.unimelb.edu.au>]

Hi,

   not sure what's available in potato but a quick check on a sid box reveals:
   
%  apt-cache search kernel-image | grep -i smp
kernel-image-2.4.16-686-smp - Linux kernel image 2.4.16 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII SMP.
kernel-image-2.4.17-686-smp - Linux kernel image 2.4.17 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII SMP.

So if I wanted to install an off the shelf SMP kernel I'd do

% sudo apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.17-686-smp

Cheers,

Nick.
