I would like to upgrade my 2.6.10 kernel to something newer mainly because there was no driver support for my Claro modem until kernel 2.6.20, as i understand. My problem with apt-get is that it assumes you have an internet connection. I have tried to manually download the package using my Windows connection, and then pointing to that package on my local hard disk through /etc/apt/search.list. But when apt-get reads the package, the package apparently points back to more on-line files to use for information or something.

Am i completely clueless as to how this is supposed to work? This seems almost as senseless as the Claro people telling me to download drivers from the web for my non-functioning modem.

Silas, do apt-cache search linux-image and pick the one from the returned list.
