Kernel-image upgrade question
So upgrading an older PIII Toshiba laptop to etch, currently it has:
moseley@laptop:~$ dpkg -l | grep kernel-image
ii kernel-image-2.6.8-2-386 2.6.8-16sarge1
ii kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686 2.6.8-16sarge1
moseley@laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.18-4-686
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
busybox initramfs-tools klibc-utils libklibc libvolume-id0 udev
Suggested packages:
linux-doc-2.6.18
Recommended packages:
libc6-i686
The following packages will be REMOVED
hotplug
The following NEW packages will be installed
busybox initramfs-tools klibc-utils libklibc libvolume-id0 linux-image-2.6.18-4-686 udev
0 upgraded, 7 newly installed, 1 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
Need to get 16.9MB/17.2MB of archives.
After unpacking 49.9MB of additional disk space will be used.
So why is hotplug removed? Does udev replace it?
