Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- Make sure 'deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian sarge main' or similar is present in your /etc/apt/sources.list and run 'apt-get update' to update your package lists. Find which flavour of the kernel you are running with the command 'uname -r' (examples: 386, 586tsc, 686, 686-smp, k6, k7, k7-smp). To upgrade, run this command replacing <flavour> with yours: apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.8-3-<flavour> Remember that you have to reboot your computers after upgrading this package.
