Well, it did. The following NEW packages will be installed: linux-image-2.6.39-2-686-pae (2.6.39-2) linux-image-686-pae (2.6.39+35.1) (...) The following packages will be upgraded: (...) linux-image-686 (2.6.38+34 => 2.6.39+35.1) It decided to install the PAE kernel instead the 486 (non-PAE). Why? As I hadn't installed a "linux-image-2.6-686-pae" previously I'd expected a non-PAE update, and given that "-686" was not available, "-486" seemed the most suitable selection. > The old -686 kernels from squeeze and earlier do not support > or need PAE. Yes, and that's why I wonder why the update routine decided to go the PAE way :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
