Re: Updated Kernel and KDE

["Neil D. Roberts" <koala@lander.es>]

Hi, here´s some answers :)

>(1) updated the kernel to (official release 2.2.14) which
>packages do I need ?

Well, to start off with, you can dowload the kernel-source2.2.14.tgz
from http://www.kernel.org/ Once you have this
file, place into /usr/src and with "tar zxvf kernel-source2.2.14.tgz"
you will extract all the files into a folder called kernel-source2.2.14.
You need to go into that directory, execute "make menuconfig" and
configure your new kernel. Once you have configured it, execute "make
dep" then "make clean" then "make zImage" then "make modules" and
finally "make modules_install". If while making the zImage part, it says
that its to big, then try "make bzImage" followed by the make modules
and make modules_install command. Once all has finished, you need to go
into /usr/src/kernel-source2.2.14/arch/i386/boot and copy the zImage
file to the /boot directory. Once done, cd to / and do "ln -s
/boot/zImage kernel2.2.14". Then you need to go into /etc and edit
lilo.conf. You will see at the bottom:

image=/vmlinuz
    label=Linux
    read-only

All you need to do is put almost the same 3 lines above this, having the
following :

image=/kernel2.2.14
    label=Linux
    read-only
image=/vmlinuz
    label=Linux.old
    read-only

And once you have completed this part, save the config, and execute
"lilo" it will show the following:

Added:
Linux *
Linux.old

(* being the default to execute at boot time.)

Now you can reboot the system, and it will boot your new kernel. IF it
goes wrong, and get a nice kernel panic :) then all you need to when
booting the computer is type Linux.old at the LILO: boot prompt

>(2) I can't found the KDE packages in .deb format at ftp.us.debian.org,

>does the KDE supported by debian?

Nope, unfortunatly the KDE packages a re not in the debian distribution,
so you would have to download these packages manually from
http://www.kde.org

If  you have any questions or problems, I`m open !

Much Respect
