Package: linux-image-2.6.15-27-amd64-generic (2.6.15-27.50) [security]

Linux kernel image for version 2.6.15 on x86_64.

This package contains the Linux kernel image for version 2.6.15 on the x86_64 architecture, the corresponding System.map file, and the modules built by the packager. It also contains scripts that try to ensure that the system is not left in a unbootable state after an update.

If you wish to update a bootdisk, or to use a bootloader to make installing and using the image easier, we suggest you install the latest fdutils (for formatting a floppy to be used as boot disk), and LILO, for a powerful bootloader. Of course, both these are optional.

Kernel image packages are generally produced using kernel-package, and it is suggested that you install that package if you wish to create a custom kernel from the sources.
