As far as I know, the standard versions of both Ubuntu and Kubuntu comes with smp-capable kernels, so you don't need to bother about that (in the past you had to mess with different kernels for smp and up systems, but not anymore). /pär <div>2007/12/31, Raseel Bhagat <<a href="mailto:raseelbhagat@gmail.com">raseelbhagat@gmail.com</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi, <div class="gmail_quote">On Dec 30, 2007 10:41 PM, Richard <<a href="mailto:cms0009@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">cms0009@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> What the differences between the regular disk and the alternate disk?

So, you install Kubuntu and it should generally take care of compiling the SMP kernel. Else, you can just download a vanilla kernel from <a href="http://kernel.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">kernel.org</a> and re-compile it with SMP support. </div>Thanks, Raseel <a href="http://www.opensourcedeal.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">www.opensourcedeal.com </a> <a href="http://www.raseel.in" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">www.raseel.in</a> </div> -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank"> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
