I got the sources right for apt thanks to an earlier post
and now am trying to get the kernel upgrade according to the release notes for
going from sarge to etch. I have a desktop system and I am trying to do the command aptitude
install linuux-image-2.6-flavor. Now I read some where
that etch has the 2.6.18 kernel so that is the one I have been trying to get. I
want this to be the stable etch 4.0 release no testing or anything. Since I couldn’t get this to work I tried doing the aptitude
dist-upgrade and it seems to have gotten everything except for the kernel. I
still have the 2.4 kernel to boot into from grub. It will reboot but I don’t
have the latest 2.6 kernel. Can anyone help me? Thank you, Michael Kerwin |
