installing kernel 2.6 on woody
Hi,
Please forgive a newbie question, I'm an old unix hand, but new to Debian,
so some of the installation things are puzzling me.
I just installed woody, but I need a kernel newer than the 2.4.18 one that
it includes, because I have large hard disks >137GB. So I figured I'd just
go with the 2.6.8 one that's in Sarge ... specifically the
kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686-smp one, because I have a pentium 4 with HT. But
apt-get is complaining that I don't have a new enough version of
initrd-tools and module-init-tools. Is this as simple as just having
apt-get install the newer ones of those (from Sarge)? ... unless those cause
other dependency issues.
I'm just a little reluctant to just hack away at pushing new versions of
things on there without being sure I know what I'm doing.
Thanks!
-Andy
