In that case, I need the server kernel. The installer knows to do that. Kira says I misunderstood about the ARM kernel. There is kernel-netbook and kernel-tmb-laptop in the repos. There is also a kernel-tmb-desktop, that they recommend if you prefer performance over battery life. I suspect that if you don't need the tmb version, you use the ordinary desktop kernel for a laptop, but it is outside my experience. You haven't said which hardware you have, but I am guessing it is a netbook. Doug.
