What!, no way. :) What I'd do is: (as root) apt-get update apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-4-686-pae udev grub apt dpkg Does the output indicate it is OK to proceed? If not, please post here the error messages. Don't worry about any extra packages it wants to install, do worry about any packages it wants to remove. If ok, then I'd proceed ensuring there are no errors in the process, particulary from grub when it updates the menu and generates the initrd. If there are errors, Don't reboot, but post them here. You can run update-grub (as root) manually, if necessary. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
