| After updating the kernel on one of my computers, I see that I have the 
| following kernel image: vmlinuz-2.4.17-386
| I then tried to update the kernel on another computer. For whatever 
| reason it would not update automatically so I had to perform the 
| following operation:
| apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.17
| 
| Well, it install vmlinuz-2.4.17-bf2.4
| 
| I understand the 386 in the earlier kernel image install to refer to a 
| 386 processor. What does the bf2.4 mean and is this appropriate?
| 
| Thanks,
| 
| Curtis
