Hi all,
I have installed Debian Sarge and I have an custom kernel.
Yesterday, I downloaded from security.debian.org the "kernel-source-2.6.8" (DSA 922) update
with a "apt-get update" and after "apt-get upgrade".


This is the output of command: "dpkg -l | grep kernel-source"
ii kernel-source- 2.6.8-16sarge1 Linux kernel source for version 2.6.8 with D....


What do I have to do for install this update?
Should I recompile the kernel?


why did you install the kernel-source? Do you want to compile your own
kernel?

If not.

Just download and install the kernel-image.


cheers,


Marcel


Hi Marcel,
I have installed a custom kernel on my system, I don't use kernel-image package.
Yesterday wheh I have updated my system with a "apt-get update", apt has
updated the kernel.source package from version "kernel-source-2.6.8-16" to
"kernel-source-2.6.8 2.6.8-16sarge1", but in /usr/src I don't have new kernel source.


What do I have to do for install this update?
Should I recompile the kernel?


Thanks Marco
