On the first and the last one I got a warning saying there is an error in the architecture amd64. should I install them anyway? The first error message read: Linux kernel headers for version 2.6.31 on x86/x86_64 This package provides kernel header files for version 2.6.31 on x86/x86_64. This is for sites that want the latest kernel headers. Please read /usr/share/doc/linux-headers-2.6.31-21/debian.README.gz for details. the error message for the third one read: Linux kernel image for version 2.6.31 on x86/x86_64 This package contains the Linux kernel image for version 2.6.31 on x86/x86_64. Also includes the corresponding System.map file, the modules built by the packager, and scripts that try to ensure that the system is not left in an unbootable state after an update. Supports Generic processors. Geared toward desktop systems. You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install the linux-generic meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work correctly, and that supporting packages are also installed. On Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 3:52 PM, Chase Douglas
