Support for it was in squeeze, and first packages begun to use it shortly afterwards, so for years. I think I even saw it being used before squeeze, for leaf packages such as -dbg ones or those with huge data. On the other hand, to actually *boot* a system successfully with this kernel you need an initrd, which requires a system up to date as of roughly end of 2012, anyway (due to the initramfs-tools package and the versions of the packages that are actually needed to be put *on* the initrd, and due to the initrd being expected to be xz IIRC). So I'm afraid you need to boot into at least Linux 3.2 first - images are at http://snapshot.debian.org/package/linux/3.2.35-2/ and also require xz to unpack already, but that can be done on any Unix box (even BSD) using ar and tar; those are mostly monolithic and don't require an initrd to boot - then to dist-upgrade your system to latest unstable, at which point you can apt-get install the 3.10 kernel. bye, //mirabilos -- > Hi, does anyone sell openbsd stickers by themselves and not packaged > with other products? No, the only way I've seen them sold is for $40 with a free OpenBSD CD. -- Haroon Khalid and Steve Shockley in gmane.os.openbsd.misc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
