It will set the /vmlinuz symlink to point to the recently installed image. /vmlinuz is normally used in lilo.conf as the default kernel. And /vmlinuz.old as the previous kernel. > Anyway, last time I just apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.17-k7, but > perhaps that was not enough.

It is compiled without initrd and should have the same boot behaviour as 2.2.x kernels. Gruss/Regards, Eduard. -- Wenn einer träumt, bleibt es ein Traum.
