Hello forum,

I have just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my fit-pc2i following these steps:

http://www.fit-pc2.com/wiki/index.php?t ... buntu_9.10

Step three is to install the new kernel etc by

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.31-34-fitpc2 linux-headers-2.6.31-34-fitpc2 xserver-xorg-video-poulsbo mplayer-vaapi mplayer-skins
That's fine but the last step in the guide gets me worried

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge linux-generic linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-$(uname -r) linux-headers-$(uname -r) && sudo apt-get autoremove
Since uname -r gives 2.6.31-34-fitpc2 wont the command above also remove the kernel and headers just installed?

Cheers,
Jacob

When executed before the reboot (aka if you followed the instructions closely), you should not get the fitpc2 kernel.

That makes sense. I don't remember exactly what I did but I might have freestyled. Thanks!
