kernel update
Dear all,
It seems that my kernel is a rather old version:
---------------------
% uname -a
Linux debian 2.4.3 #2 Sat Mar 31 11:29:19 CST 2001
i686 unknown
---------------------
It seems that the newer versions are 2.4.16 or later.
I thought "apt-get update/upgrade" would upgrade the
kernel, but it seems that that's not the case. (I
don't have any updates there.)
So, how does one update the kernel. Although my
computer is running fine, I wanted to install the alsa
drivers, and I think I'd need something like
"alsa-modules-2.4.16-386" or "kernel-headers-2.4.16".
(I can't find "kernel-headers-2.4.3".)
Are there any risks in updating the kernel?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Best to all,
Luis
