OK, I have edited sources list file and pointed it to the stable version and then did an apt-get update and then apt-get dist-upgrade, it told me I needed apt-get -f install so I did that and it became ready to install and remove some packages. However I have realized that among the packages apt-get wants to install is: linux-image-2.6.18-5-k7 But according to cat /proc/cpuinfo my CPU is GenuineIntel, Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.4 Ghz; so I stopped the apt-get because my CPU does not seem to be an AMD. Should I continue with the process and let it try to install a kernel image for k7? Or is there a way to make it choose linux-image-2.6-18-5-686? (previously I have used -686 kernel images and now I'm a little bit confused). Hope you can enlighten me. :) -- Emre Sevinc
