Post Hdd Install, Knoppix 3.7 - How to upgrade kernel-image

[steptayl]

It's been installed and working several years - but can I upgrade the kernel-image-2.4.27 package
to kernel-image-2.6.9 without breaking the system? What preparation, if any, is necessary?

Thanks in advance.

This is a very critical task.
Thearically you have to do an apt-get install kernel-image-x.x.xx, (after an apt-get update, of course). But I guess this is something possible only on a vanilla debian-install. I've failed doing that with kanotix, which install is more debian compliant than knoppix. So doing that with knx looks like quite impossible

Thanks for answering. The warning it gives before install are strong. So re-install Knoppix or install Debian seem the choices. And lots of reading.
