For 32 and 64 bit, 'normal' and gnu, 3.8.0 kernels available in the repos.

On my box, there were no issues installing Virtualbox (non-ose) via svmi (unlike with kernel 3.7. __{{emoticon}}__ and latest nvidia driver installed via sgfxi (or you may need sgfxi -f).

This is a really newbie question, but the antix repos are in my sources and yet I don't see an option to install an antix kernel using smxi.

Is there are another way?

thanks.

I tried dpkg --install for the 64 bit kernel and was told that it did not match my system (386). Yet I know I have and amd 64 chip.

Clock Speeds: 1: 800.00 MHz 2: 800.00 MHz

What should I do to install the new kernel?

thanks.

pedro, try with apt.

apt-get update
apt-get install linux-headers-3.8.0-antix.1-amd64-smp linux-image-3.8.0-antix.1-amd64-smp

You are using the 64 bit version of antiX aren't you?

If not you will have to use the 32 bit kernel

apt-get install linux-headers-3.8.0-antix.1-486-smp linux-image-3.8.0-antix.1-486-smp

Hey eino.
Have not tried to update my graphics driver on that Dell optiplex P4. Can't really, no high speed internet where this box lives.
