There are differences between desktop and netbook-kernels, right?
Right.
A while back, it was announced that there was a Mageia kernel for
ARM. I believe that it was referring to netbooks, which use a
different processor. You wouldn't want that kernel for a laptop.
HTH,
Doug.
Shouldn't that kernel be renamed to somthing more detailed so people
can tell them apart?
kernel-arm-netbook for instance.
I have a desktop, but I am running 32-bit. 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.
I don't use my battery atm. I want it to live long. ;)
