 Hi all,
Moin,

 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?

linux-image-amd64 will install 2.8.x and 3.0.x also, 
linux-image-2.6-amd64 will only install 2.6.x kernels.

 Regards

 Hans

 Hey everybody,
I've been trying to install the latest Java. I downloaded
 the two packages from debian.org but i cant install either because
 one needs the other installed first and the same for the other. Are
 there any ways to get around this? Thanks.
Moin,
use dpkg -i  xyz.deb to force installation.
The Packages you downloaded are in
/var/cache/apt/packages/
