New Kernel
I just picked up a Dual P3 recently and decided to put Debian on it. I downloaded the latest net-installed CD and installed it. The kernel it installed was 2.4.X, NOT the smp version. I looked around on the net and did a "apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.8-smp" and it installed the kernel, I rebooted, selected that fromt he boot menu, and off I went. Is that really all I had to do, or is there anything else I need to patch up? Everything seems to be working as it should be. Also, how do I remove the old kernel?
