Do I need "either" or do I need "both"? :-) Curious is that, as I said before, it was installed it: dpkg test@debian:~$ dpkg -l | grep linux-image ii linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 2.6.32-31 Linux 2.6.32 for modern PCs But the updated kernel was not showing to me as "available" until I manually pulled the meta-package ;-( > Whether one of these packages is installed by default depends on how you > installed that particular machine (example: it might not be installed in > expert mode since AFAIR you get a specific question about which kernel > package to install). I always use the expert installer so that can be the reason I didn't have the meta-package installed by default.
