Is linux-image-2.6-k7 required?



Hello,

I did an apt-get update and dist-upgrade today, and noticed it wanted to
install Kernel 2.6.21-1-K7. I am still using v2.6.18-4-K7 (uname:
2.6.18-4-k7 #1 SMP Wed May 9 23:42:01 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux). I did
not want to install the new Kernel, so I removed linux-image-2.6-k7
which was depended on.

Is this going to be a problem if linux-image-2.6-k7 is not installed? I
have not rebooted yet. The package description did not make sense to me:
"Description: Linux kernel 2.6 image on AMD K7. This package depends on
the latest binary image for Linux kernel 2.6 on 32bit AMD
Duron/Athlon/AthlonXP machines."  Is that saying it is required? If so,
then how do I keep the one for 2.6.18?

Thank you in advance. :)
