Your english is excellent, I've seen far funnier mistakes from native

I lived in France for several years and was forever making embarassing verbal
gaffes, often the pronunciation rather than the spelling is all it takes. For
example in french the word "pin" can mean either pine or penis depending on
how you pronounce it. Given that I'm a carpenter and the nature of
construction site humour, you can imagine the hilarity that caused until
someone set me straight. And the girlfriend found out the hard way (no pun
intended) that french plumbers don't "faire pipes" they "faire tuyaux".
Apparently "faire une pipe" means give a blowjob in french
Anyhow, I guess we should get back to a more technical discussion not
that it's a particulary fashionable thing to do these day's on this list.

Hey, I do not know who invented L and R. That is really problem in

So much for bad taste joke.

I've been flustered and frustrated but never flustrated.sounds painful ;-) I like dselect too, apt-get leaves you oblivious to recommends and suggests, which can and do change over the lifetime of a package, particulary if a large package is split into smaller ones. -- Simon Hepburn. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

2.4.17 has been removed due to the zlib security hole. Just install
2.4.18 instead.

Re: FW: Kernel identification
It seems that it must have been removed from the archive between your installs. 2.4.17 does not exist on the archives now, only 2.4.17-b42.4. I may be wrong but it seems to me it hasn't been there for several weeks. I would suggest installing 2.4.18.

Re: FW: Kernel identification
Let's go back to my original problem. Here's my letter: I upgraded the kernels on all of computers per instructions, which are provided at the end of the message. This worked on all but one computer. I assumed that that computer was upgraded to 2.4, but I discovered recently that it is still on the 2.2 kernel. Doing an apt-get dist-upgrade produces no results now. The only image in the /boot / directory (which is were it should be, right?) is vmlinuz-2.2.17. Do I now have manually upgrade it? And if so, how? Curtis Procedures for upgrade: 1. edit sources.list 2. apt-get update 3. apt-get install apt dpkg apt-utils 4. apt-get dist-upgrade 5. apt-get -f install Now, since then I tried to download the kernel per instructions provided by dman: apt-get install kernel-imgage- In this case, when I type apt-get install kernal-image-2.4.17-386 (the kernel version on my other computers), I get the following message: Package kernel-image-2.4.17-386 has no available version, but exists in the database. This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list E: Package kernel-image-2.4.17-386 has no installation candidate Fine, so I typed apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.17 and for whatever reason it installed kernel-image-2.4.17-bf2.4. So, how do I get the correct kernel-image? Or what is the correct title? Perhpas 2.4.19-386? Curtis Osamu Aoki wrote: Hi On Fri, Apr 12, 2002 at 05:11:50PM -0500, dman wrote: Will anyone help curtis?
