Re: strange packages - Question
Hi, Sorry if this is a stupid question, but with regard to this I was also wondering why linux-image-amd64 is pointing to linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-amd64 and not to linux-image-2.6.32-2-amd64, which seems to be the latest kernel (my X session hangs when running the former).

If yes, which one is preferred for which > purposes? the first one is more generic. it could some day upgrade to a 2.8 kernel. the other one is more specific the actual package of the 2.6-kernel tree. both apply only for the amd64 architecture. bye, Michael. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

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".
