i want to upgrade my kernel of auditor security collection which i have installed on my hardisk.The kernel version is 2.6.11.

Can somebody help me out ??

I see from a google search that Auditor Security Collection is based on Knoppix, which is in turn based on Debian. Its also very old! That means that you may be able to use the apt-get tool to update / upgrade the various parts of your OS.

Apt-get tips and tricks: http://www.debiantutorials.com/apt-tips-and-tricks/

Let us know if you need further help.

If you really are using Knoppix with a 2.6.11 kernel then you are either using Knoppix 3.8.2 or 3.9. Both versions are from 2005. I would strongly recommend to install a newer distro on your machine, Knoppix is actually available in version 6.4.4 with kernel 2.6.37.

thanks for a quick reply guys!!
I have tried apt-get update before but it displays a lots of error

Reading Package Lists... Error!
E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.de.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages (1)
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.


error in reading package=>I couldn't figure it out

apt-get requires a working network connection. Looking at those error, it looks like either your network is not working properly or those repositories aren't online.

the network is working 19 files got downloaded it also shows the downloading speed

As stated above, your Knoppix version is very old. All that errors come from repositories that are simply not online anymore. Install a newer version, I doubt that it makes any sense to upgrade your system.

i don't know how to compile kernel so to install a new kernel image what can i do??where can i download a compiled kernel image??

if i installed a new distro will it have all the programs that are included on auditor security collection

After doing a Google search for Auditor Security Collection I found out that this distribution merged with the WHAX distribution to build Backtrack Linux. I would assume that this is the distribution you should have a look at.

yeah!I have backtracks 4 but it is little complicated than auditor.
Is it a impossible task that i am trying to do??I wanted to update kernel because my wireless usb network adaptors are not working in auditor
I downloaded drivers from http://linuxwireless.org/ but the kernel version required is 2.6.26 .Do you know any sites where i can download latest wireless usb drivers which is supported on kernel 2.6.11 ??
Anyway, thanks for your help guys!!
I like your quick reply's

In my opinion, it's not possable without *a lot* of work. It might not be possible at all... The right thing to do (for many reasons) is use the current version of the OS.

I can only support that. Learning the new tools will probably cost less time than to update your distribution (if even possible). You can of course give it a try, but between your kernel-version and and an up to date kernel really many things had changed.
