Hi there
I recently moved to Lenny from Etch via dist-upgrade. Now I got two
kernel options in grub available for boot. Doesn't a dist-upgrade mean
that the old kernel is quite useless with the new system (with all its
new libraries and stuff)? If so, how do I get rid off Etch's leftovers?
If the lastest kernel hangs, you could probe with the previous kernel
I think this is the reason

No, the Kernel doesn't depend on those libraries. Evenything you need to

If I reboot into an older kernel, will my nvidia driver work? It never fails,

Ahhh, good thing to know. I think the problem was that with dist-upgrade

they were installed due to dependencies on the new kernel and thus
wouldn't work with the old kernel. But apparently there are some
packages (some of

Having mulitple entries in grub isn't really much of a distraction. And the

Otherwise it would be a bout 3 MiB.
