Hi Debian's; Have installed Debian 2.2 (potato) using 3 CD's from CheapBytes. Things are going ok except that when I run "uname -a" the return is "2.2.15-4mdk" whereas was expecting "2.2.2.17pre6.deb".
My system is a Pentium 166MMX, 64MB RAM, cd-rom, floppy, 2 hard drives 8.1G and 9.1G. Mandrake is installed on /dev/hda1 (8.1G) with lilo using the MBR for startup. It also provides for starting alternate OS which I use. Mandrake was installed before I installed Debian. Used Mandrake to fdisk /dev/hdb so that there is 4 partitions on /dev/hdb. "dev/hdb1", "/dev/hdb5", "/dev/hdb6" and "/dev/hdb7". Used Debian to activate "dev/hdb1" as "/", "dev/hdb5" as "/usr", "dev/hdb6" as "/var" and "dev/hdb7" as "/home". Why didn't Debian use the kernel version 2.2.17pre6 that is on the CD's instead of using 2.2.15-4mdk? TIA Clay Stapleton
