Upgrade lenny but keep back kernel ..
I hope the subject makes sense. Not an expert.
Temporarily I'm stuck on a machine with one of two CPUs inoperative but the 2.6.22-3-686 kernel works fine with "nosmp" and "pci=noacpi" as kernel parameters. Happily running debian "lenny". My question is, can I somehow continue to use "synaptic" to upgrade my system - *except* the kernel? I just removed a newer kernel that I received via synaptic (and changed grub stuff so that I boot into 2.6.22 instead), but lenny is the best thing I've run across. I guess I can just keep an eye open for new kernels but is there a "keep back" I can set so as to continue to just run synaptic? Thanx. |
Yep. Just search for it, then select it in the list. Then go to the "Packages" menu and select "Lock Version"

Perfect! Thanks very much. If anyone wants to do the same thing, the string to search for is "linux-image". Then use the package menu. Cool.
