Ho una macchina con sarge, installato senza fronzoli e con il kernel standard. Ora volevo installare CUPS per usare la macchina come server di stampa. Seguendo le istruzioni della "Debian and Windows Shared Printing mini-HOWTO", installo cups (apt-get install cupsys). Lui inizia e poi dice, tra le varie cose che intende fare: The following packages will be REMOVED: initrd-tools kernel-image-2.4.27-1-386 e poi:
You are running a kernel (version 2.4.27-1-386) and attempting to remove the same version. This is a potentially disastrous action. Not only will /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-1-386 be removed, making it impossible to boot it, (you will have to take action to change your boot loader to boot a new kernel), it will also remove all modules under the directory /lib/modules/2.4.27-1-386. Just having a copy of the kernel image is not enough, you will have to replace the modules too. I repeat, this is very dangerous. If at all in doubt, answer no. If you know exactly what you are doing, and are prepared to hose your system, then answer Yes. Remove the running kernel image (not recommended) [No]? a questo punto io chiaramente mi terrorizzo e rispondo no, e allora: dpkg: error processing kernel-image-2.4.27-1-386 (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: initrd-tools: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you request: kernel-image-2.4.27-1-386 depends on initrd-tools (>= 0.1.48). Removing initrd-tools ... Errors were encountered while processing: kernel-image-2.4.27-1-386 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) E in conclusione cups non viene installato. Qualcuno può spiegarmi il senso di tutto questo, e cosa devo fare per installare cups senza devastarmi la macchina? grazie giovanni -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
