is it possible to have a debian squeeze ISO already with a kernel 3.x.x?
how easy is it?
i have an ISO (dvd image) of debian squeezy, but it does not come with the latest stable kernel version 3.4.4 is it possible to delete de kernel 2.6 and then add the kernel 3.4.4 on the ISO? |
Read this:http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/README.CD-manufacture
Then install the debian-cd package and build you customized cd. Good luck. |
i recently learned how to add/remove repositories on the source.list
still learning how to install programs, i mean packages, and unistall then i cant solve this by myself can someone here tell me what to do from now on? http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/debian-cd |
The first question would be: Why do you want to replace your kernel.
The second question would be: Why do you want to have a custom install CD and don't just install a newer kernel? |
well, to have a system up-to-date? i believe a newer kernel will recognize newer hardware, will have a better interaction between soft. and hard.
if we want to have a newer kernel, dont we have to compile it? what if i have to make this compilation on 50 pcs? all diferent form each other (the pcs)? im new to this, and i thought it wouldn't hurt to have a newer kernel on an iso... |
Compiling a newer kernel on Debian of course will work, but kind of defeats the purpose of using Debian Stable. But of course you also can simply use the newer kernel from the backports repository.

You could try these unofficial debian iso's here:

If this is in fact a production environment, then you will have hopefully set up a local Debian repository. A nice 'feature' of the kernel make system, is that it allows you create Debian packages of the new kernel off the bat. No need for kbuild and the sort. The newly built packages can then be deposited into your local repository and each machine updated with the newly built kernel(s). Even if you don't have a local repository setup, you can install the new kernel(s) on each machine with dpkg. |

You could just have used a full install CD and install a newer kernel afterwards. This way you would still run Debian Stable, not an alpha version (Debian's alphas are pretty stable, but nonetheless I wouldn't put them on a production system).

That is what I did. I couldn't get a stable enough network connection with the installed kernel to install ANYTHING after booting it. As in, I couldn't even get it to stay connected long enough to do an "apt-get update", much less install a new kernel.
I hadn't intended to keep it with Squeeze anyway, while it's fine for servers, it's IMO far too moldy for daily use on anything that is anywhere near slightly modern. I had only kept the 6.x install usb because it was the KDE spin, which they don't offer for the alpha iso's, and I DESPISE Gnome. |
