Not quite. In addition to the bf-images, there are a bunch of images that are architecture-specific. Uhm, packages.debian.org are still down, otherwise you could have seen them there. Anyway, do dpkg -l kernel-image* you will at least see that there are a bunch. So, you're supposed to run one of those, and they are patched, and you were supposed to install one first thing after the installation. I don't know where it says so, I can't remember anything from the installation process nor the "Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0" guide. I haven't re-read it thoroughly, but there is a section in chapter 9 about compiling a new kernel, but I can't see anything about this, at least not in boldface as it should be... :-) Cheers, Kjetil -- Kjetil Kjernsmo Astrophysicist/IT Consultant/Skeptic/Ski-orienteer/Orienteer/Mountaineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.kjetil.kjernsmo.net/ OpenPGP KeyID: 6A6A0BBC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
