Anyone used Backports.org to upgrade a woody to 2.6?
I see that there's both module-init-tools and a kernel-image-2.6.5
(kernel-image-2.6.5-1-k7_2.6.5-0.backports.org.1_i386.deb)
available.
Anyone have success using those packages to update a Woody box? One is
an Athlon XP 1800+, which I assume is should use the
k7 kernel. I also have a P4 and a PIII.
Any notes? Did you add backports to source.list or download the .deb
and use dpkg -i for the modules and kernel?
I have xfs file systems so I guess I'd need to use initrd since XFS is
included as a module -- is there any additional setup required?
I normally build the kernels, but would really like to start using
kernel-image packages to make upgrading easier.
