Read the docs for kernel package and use --revision=... when building your own kernel. You have to ensure that your local kernel .deb is a later release than the standard one. >2.apt-get upgrade gives the following message: > >... >The following packages have been kept back: >dpkg-dev kernel-package perl perl-base >... > >I wanna this packages be included in the normal upgrade-procedure.

You must either remove packages that are causing the problem, or wait for new versions of the problem packages to become available, or (if you know what you are doing) force the installation of the packages you want upgraded. -- Vote against SPAM: http://www.politik-digital.de/spam/ ======================================== Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP key from public servers; key ID 32B8FAA1 ======================================== "Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
