That being as it may, I started here:
<http://www.us.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/>
and clicked on [amd64] under "netinst CD image (100-150 MB)".
Near as I can tell, that IS the official debian way-to-go ...

I am counting on that ...

EUREKA !!!
I have been querying dpkg with '*kernel*'; and, the applicable kernel
images do NOT contain the string 'kernel' ;<
# COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l '*linux-image*' | sed 's!^....!!;s! .*$!!' | grep amd64
linux-image-2.6-amd64-generic
linux-image-2.6-amd64-k8
linux-image-2.6-amd64-k8-smp

linux-image-2.6-xen-amd64-k8
linux-image-2.6-xen-vserver-amd64-k8
linux-image-2.6.15-1-amd64-generic
linux-image-2.6.15-1-amd64-k8

linux-image-vserver-amd64-k8
linux-image-xen-amd64-k8
linux-image-xen-vserver-amd64-k8
Oddly enough, I did this:
# sudo aptitude -P install linux-image-amd64-k8-smp
Which did this:
Get:1 ftp://mirrors.kernel.org etch/main linux-image-2.6.15-1-amd64-k8-smp 2.6.15-8 [15.4MB]
And, this:
Setting up linux-image-2.6-amd64-k8-smp (2.6.15-8) ...
Setting up linux-image-amd64-k8-smp (2.6.15-8) ...
After reboot, I see this:
# uname -a
Linux odin 2.6.15-1-amd64-k8-smp #2 SMP Mon Mar 20 11:41:50 UTC 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux
So, which kernel version is this?
2.6.15-1
-- OR --
2.6.15-8
Otherwise, I now have a system with BOTH cpu's in gear ;>
Thank you, for your participation ...

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much
we think we know. The more I know, the more I know I don't know . . .
