Well, at this point I am just trying to unpack this big box of goodies, so nothing is on the system that wasn't put there by dpkg. I am pretty sure that if I went to the trouble of finding another kernel and rebuilding it, I would remember which version I used. At the very least I could look it up in my notes. What I really need to know is: a: Do I need to do anything more than a dpkg installation for the newly installed kernel to be the one that boots on the next reboot? b: Are there any other packages that should be updated, other than the modules package?
