Hello,

I'm currently using Sarge with 2.4.18-k7 kernel for my Athlon XP and the kernel-headers-2.4.18-k7.
I've seen that 2.4.20-k7 kernel was available for the testing version but the problem is that there's no kernel-headers-2.4.20-k7 yet but only a package called kernel-headers-2.4.20.
Is it okay to install the 2.4.20-k7 kernel-image with the kernel-headers-2.4.20 or should I wait for a kernel-headers-2.4.20-k7 to appear before upgrading?
Thanks for your help.


Try apt-get install kernel-headers-2.4.20-k7 ;)

Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.

Need to get 5865kB of archives. After unpacking 147MB will be used.


So the kernel headers for the 2.4.20 images take up 100MB more space than the kernel headers for 2.4.19? 100MB is not insignificant. It doesn't even make sense, how does 5865kB unpack to 147MB?
