Hello fellow linux users. I'm new to the linux world and could use some help. I'm currently running Kernel v. (2.4.18-24.8.0smp). And need to upgrade to a newier version using command line. When I goto up2date-config I get the following:

My question is how do I edit this so that my up2date will go get the newstest kernel and install it itself? What command , after I've edited this will i need to excute to start the update and install (the new kernel and updates) and once it's updated do I need to return the up2date back to these settings? Plus after I've gotten to new kernel and reboot will i need to choose the new kernel?

Thanks in advanded

change line 6. to 6. pkgSkipList []
run 'up2date --help' It will tell you what switches to use. I think, but not sure,
than it will be 'up2date -i'. I am all up 2 date at the momant so I can't try
them myself. And no, you do not have to undo anything afterwards.
