The process took a long time, then I rebooted. But when I do `uname -r' I > still get the same output as before: 2.6.18-4-k7. How is that possible?

Try installing linux-image-2.6-686, this will always pull the latest 2.6 kernel. Old kernels have to be removed by hand. If you have an AMD64 processor you might want to try the -amd64 kernel as well. Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. (Albert Einstein)
