Re: which kernel for dual opteron ???
Hi Len:
I went on immediately with your suggestion about the kernel, however, with my
present /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main
deb ftp://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
(the equivalent deb-src are commented)
command
#apt-get install linux-image-2.6-amd64-k8
returns
Couldn' find .....
Is any error in my sources.list? Otherwise, where to look for (nl or other
country?)?
Thank you
francesco pietra
