hello everyone,

This forum looks great:D I love to use apt to keep my system updated and I have hit one snag. I can update all the packages on my system except for the kernel, so I have to use up2date. I would love to be able to replace up2date with apt does anyone know if an apt repo that has kernel images like up2date not just the source. BTW I use the apt kick start package from here http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt// and it works great

Thanks bosox

http://apt-rpm.tuxfamily.org/ They seem to have them. I haven't used this repo yet so can't give any personal recommendation though.
