I don't know whether the install provides an option for selecting an smp-enabled kernel, but if it doesn't, you should be able to install one pretty easily. After the install, you can list the set of kernels available with: apt-cache search "kernel-image.*smp" If there is one you like, just: apt-get install kernel-image-xxxyyyzzz The smp-enabled kernels have "-smp" on the end of their names. I presume you'll be wanting a 2.4 kernel (because you're installing Woody). For my Sarge (testing) install, I get: $ apt-cache search "kernel-image-2.4.*smp" kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686-smp - Linux kernel image 2.4.18 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV SMP. kernel-image-2.4-686-smp - Linux kernel image for version 2.4 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV SMP. kernel-image-2.4-k7-smp - Linux kernel image for version 2.4 on AMD K7 SMP. kernel-image-2.4.25-1-686-smp - Linux kernel image for version 2.4.25 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV SMP. kernel-image-2.4.25-1-k7-smp - Linux kernel image for version 2.4.25 on AMD K7 SMP. kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686-smp - Linux kernel image for version 2.4.26 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV SMP. kernel-image-2.4.26-1-k7-smp - Linux kernel image for version 2.4.26 on AMD K7 SMP.
