Re: kernel 2.6 SMP on fresh install
The only reference in the online manual from your websight says to install the single processor kernel first then compile new kernel (even though the installation DVD has 2.4 smp and 2.6 smp on it). If it is possible, I would like to be able to select 2.6 smp from the beginning of the installation. If there is no way of doing that, will it be available in the future? well, i dont think there is an smp kernel in the installer. so you could roll your own installer. (there is online documentation for that) i dont know what documentation you found, but there are smp kernels available (precompiled, of course) via apt. (use aptitude) i doubt there would be one included in an installer in the future, but you never know. out of curiousity, why is it so important to install an smp kernel right away? -matt zagrabelny -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

kernel 2.6 SMP on fresh install
I have a question on how to install Debian 3.1 with the option of using the 2.6 smp kernel. I have just installed Debian 3.1 and had to chose the 2.6 kernel (the linux26 option) since there was no smp option. After the installation was completed and working fine, I installed the 2.6 smp kernel to be able to use the dual processors on my system. Everything works great but I will be installing Debian on a few other computers and wanted to know how to have Debian installer install kernel 2.6 smp in the first place without having to install or upgrade to the smp kernel afterwards. The only reference in the online manual from your websight says to install the single processor kernel first then compile new kernel (even though the installation DVD has 2.4 smp and 2.6 smp on it). If it is possible, I would like to be able to select 2.6 smp from the beginning of the installation. If there is no way of doing that, will it be available in the future? -- ___ Play 100s of games for FREE! http://games.mail.com/
Re: kernel 2.6 SMP on fresh install
The easiest way I've found to get a 2.6 SMP kernel on installation is to select the 'expert26' install mode. There's an option to choose which kernel you'd like to install, and 2.6-SMP is one of the choices. The 'expert' part of it is somewhat misleading: if you've installed Debian before, you'll be fine. Good luck! --John John Miller Community Software Lab [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
