strange packages
Hi all, I wondered what is the difference between the two packages "linux-image-amd64" and "linux-image-2.6-amd64". Both seem to be meta- packages, and both want to install the same kernel. Is there a difference at all? If yes, which one is preferred for which purposes? Regards Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
