Oh, ok. That patched kernel isn't in the installer floppies, though, since their date on the server is quite a bit earlier than the DSA. | Hi. Why shouldn't I use kernel-image-2.4.18-1-386 insted of | kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4. It provides a better performence to me i586 | computer ? If you have a 586, then get the -586 variant. I didn't know what your processor was so I listed the lowest common denominator. BTW, the bf2.4 image I have (from the installer floppies as of two days ago) is compiled for a 386 as well. The installer kernels always choose the lowest common denominator in order to successfully install on the widest range of systems. | kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4 works fine on my machine ;) Sure, it'll work.
