Look at /etc/apt/apt.conf. I think ^kernel$ matches the kernel packages (apart from those matched by the rest, smp, enterprise). I think it won't do anything about the kernels. Come to think of it, the abovementioned might have nothing to do with it. I explicitly use apt-get install kernel and then from the list pick a version and then install kernel#2.4.foo-bar. > And has anyone ever tried to do a dist-upgrade, say from 7.1 to 7.2? > Should it work? If not, why? Should. Haven't tried with dist-upgrade but I have put 7.2 netboot mirror (ie, 7.2) into sources.list and run install step-by-step for IIRC everything. Worked ok. I think there'll be a few .rpmnew files worth checking such as, especially, passwd and group. I think there was a group change.
