Debian 3.1 SMP from scratch
I just signed up for this sight and it has help me a lot in my new installation of Debian and it works great. However there is one thing I have not been able to find.
I have just installed Debian 3.1 and had to chose to use the 2.6 kernel (the linux26 option) since there was no smp option. After the installation was completed and working fine, I installed the 2.6 smp kernel to be able to use the dual processors on my system. Everything works great but I will be installing Debian on a few other computers and wanted to know how to have Debian installer install kernel 2.6 smp in the first place without having to install or upgrade to the smp kernel afterwards.
Even the online manual from debian says to install the single processor kernel first then compile new kernel (even though the installation DVD has 2.4 smp and 2.6 smp on it). But if it is possible, I would like to be able to select 2.6 smp from the beginning of the installation.
If anyone knows how I can do this, it would be greatly appreciated.
