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 linux-image-2.6.18-5-<flavour>
