If you haven't already, turn on bash_completion (smart tab completion) by typing 'source /etc/bash_completion' or entering that into a .bashrc or similar and restarting your bash. Then do apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.<tab> By <tab> I mean press the tab key. That should show you all the kernel images available under woody (3.0R2). > Also, how can I change the sources.list to upgrade my system to the new packages > like gnome 2.6, KDE 3.3, Mozilla 1.7, etc. For that you need to either use backports, which I think are available from apt-get.org, or upgrade to testing (sarge) or unstable (sid). To do this, edit /etc/apt/sources.list, changing all mentions of "woody" or "stable" to "sarge". Then type apt-get update and then apt-get dist-upgrade. Be aware that this might not be smooth and there are currently problems with nautilus in testing and unstable. > In order to have Kernel 2.6, I guess I have to compile it manually myself, right? > Well, that I have done before. Or can I do it with apt-get. You can do it with apt-get, but I'm not sure whether that's only true for unstable (sid). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
