6.0 is squeeze, so that's what you get with the 6.0.1a installer. To get a testing installer you would have had to go to www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ and look for the daily images. > (5) Edited sources.list for wheezy.

Best bet for running wheezy is use the testing installer, not the stable installer. Otherwise a dist-upgrade should pull in the current kernel (which step 6 seems to have done). Installing stable and changing sources.list and doing a dist-upgrade works too, but takes a bit longer. > (b) Should I look for 2.6.38-5?
