What are these packages doing ?
Hello ! What are these packages good for ? linux-image-amd64 linux-image-2.6-amd64 Are these meta-packages ? Or are these packages intend to let aptitude or apt-get automatically install the newest kernel-versions ? (If yes, then these are the packages I am looking for) Regards Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(If yes, then these are the packages I am looking for) for sure linux-image-2.6-amd64 lets you have always the latest 2.6 kernel for amd64 installed. apt-cache show it and check Depends line: it should have (if your machine is enough up-to-date) the version 2.6.25-2.

Hope this is specific of amd64. I can't exactly remember when the problem started, probably along with a compilation. Now, at user login (single user, amd64 lenny, a NUMA-type multi dual-opteron machine) a long list appears before the prompt. The list includes: ---Last login ...date ---Several lines of declare -x, each such line for an environmental variable,including. That occurs even on no-password slogin from my desktop (this may trigger some problem when launching calculations from the desktop). Otherwise, the amd64 machine works properly. From where is the list read, and hod to kill that reading? Thanks francesco pietra -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi tas, for sure linux-image-2.6-amd64 lets you have always the latest 2.6 kernel for amd64 installed. apt-cache show it and check Depends line: it should have (if your machine is enough up-to-date) the version 2.6.25-2. On etch it will install 2.6.18+6etch3 (2.6.25+14~bpo40+1 from backports is also available). thanks for clarify it! I was referring to sid, while for stable it's correct what you said. I CCed the list, since it might be of help to someone else.

And linux-image-amd64 as a dependance on the latest linux branch (here linux-image-2.6.amd64). If one day Linux jump to 2.8 version, then linux-image-amd64 dependance will be modified accordingly.
