SMP kernel
I did a network install of Potato (2.2r5) on Friday, then updated to testing
(3.0). The machine is an HP Vectra XU 6/200 with 128MB RAM. It has a
dual-Pentium Pro motherboard, but I only had one processor in at the time of
install. Today I added a second PPro200 processor to the machine, so it is
now SMP. Is there a way to drop in an SMP kernel (preferably 2.4.17) without
building my own from scratch?
I'm not against building my own kernel, but if there's a simple way to update
using apt-get or whatever, I'd like to learn about it.
I've used Linux for nearly 4 years, but this is my first Debian install. Had
a spare box and a fast 'net connection, so I figured I'd give it a try.
Liking it so far, and apt-get is a very neat tool.
Thanks,
