The installed packages don't depend on the kernel's revision level. You can easily upgrade to a 2.4.18 kernel, if you wish, simply by apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-pmac and changing your bootloader to load it. In your case, if you like 2.2.20, just do the same with the 2.2.20 kernel-image. Apparently you mixed a 2.2.19 installer with a 2.2.20 root.bin somehow. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
