There's still something I don't understand. Ubuntu released a new
kernel yesterday, which I think I've installed, but the kernel still
reports the same release number as it did before the upgrade:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# uname -r
2.6.10-5-686-smp
apt-cache gives me two version numbers for this kernel:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# apt-cache show linux-image-2.6.10-5-686-smp|grep
Version
Version: 2.6.10-34.2
Version: 2.6.10-34
How do I know which of these two I actually have? And if it's the later
one, why does the kernel report exactly the same release number as the
older package?
Thanks,
John
