[Debian] Re: lenny updates

[Cedric Jeanneret]

Hi again.

It's simply the latests stable release from openvz.org :
2.6.18-92.1.18.el5.028stab060.2

to use it under debian (as it's an rpm), simply do:
alien <package>
dpkg -i <package.deb>
updateinitramfs
update-grub
and check it's the default kernel in case you reboot.

Regards,

C.
