Install Buster Stable, but with a later kernel for hardware support
by Allen_B from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5A5TD)
Stepping through what I have to do to get a later kernel into Buster, as a comet lake processor leaves me with no X after install.
Search the backports and find the latest kernel version and its package name.
Discover what other packages are needed.. firmware etc.
Find out what repositories these are found in... (problem, /etc/apt/sources.list isn't filled during install because my net connection isn't available due to a failure of the installer to recognise it. So I have to do this manually after install)
Then update apt and get them.
Hope that when I reboot it all works.
Does this sound OK so far?
